Arches National Park, Moab, Ut.

Day two at Moab we took off to explore Arches NP and to look for dinosaur tracks on some of the jeep trails north of Moab. Canyonlands and Arches are a photographers dream and someday I would love to spend more time hiking and working on just photography of these two gems. From sunrise to sunset your light is constantly changing making the rock formations, cliffs, arches and any shot different than what it was an hour ago. After our day of exploring I snuck away to climb up a canyon wall to photograph the Delicate Arch at sunset. Just being on top of the canyon, dead silent, surrounded by all the beauty of Arches NP landscapes was inspiring, what a wonderful place to be. As darkness filled the sands, canyons and monuments of Arches I headed back to the parking area. Although I am eagerly anticipating my photographs of Delicate Arch, just being there at that moment was something I'll never forget.
When you visit Arches National Park, experience early morning and the sunset.
