Sunset & Sunrise

A few times now I have been in the Moab area, done with the hikes, but not quite ready for dinner or to relax at the campsite or room. The only available option, in my book then, is to head to Arches and watch the sunset.

OR alternatively, if you want to beat the crowds AND enjoy one of the most beautiful sunrises, head to Arches!

The line to get in is usually non-existent for both, they’re usually no longer charging or haven’t begun charging yet (if you don’t have a park pass), and it’ll feel like you have the enormous park to yourself! Not to mention, you can’t go wrong. You can park at dang near any turn off or trailhead or do almost any hike and you’ll be treated to an amazing light show!

My favorite views though are from the Balanced Rock/Turret Arch area or overlooking Fiery Furnace. In fact, there’s a few turnoffs on the main road that allow you to see the La Sals, the Turret and Windows Arch areas, AND the Fiery Furnace. With a zoom lens, at least. Of course, the most famous spot for watching the sunset is probably Delicate Arch but there’s so many people there and the hike up or down requires a light, so it may not be for everyone. Especially after a full day of hiking already.

It doesn’t always work out though. Sometimes fog can roll in or clouds can cover the sun or the arch in question (Tower Arch) is on the wrong side of a sandstone fin. Regardless, it’s going to be a quiet & gorgeous treat.
