I was i Arches N.P. the last week in August. There is no hiking off of marked trails, they are very serious about protecting the living soil that is everywhere. Besides the camping and motels in Moab there are also a number of campfrounds on the Colorado River on route 118 (I think, I don't have my map in front of me). Delicate Arch is 1.5 miles of some tough hiKing, would not recamend with a bum knee. I found that all times of the day make for some great pictures. Most trails are good for those fellin a little gimpy. Have fun.
