It doesn’t get any better than this. I could sit here, time and time again, and never tire of this beauty. Besides the stunning sights and sounds you see while traveling to places like this, one of my favorite parts is the meditative state it puts you in, especially when you are alone by yourself. You realize the enormity of the scene before you and how tiny and small you are in the grand scheme of things on the planet we live, let alone the universe. And then to be treated to a view like this and shortly thereafter, the Milky Way appearing directly behind the arch, I almost had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. As the saying goes, lighting never strikes twice. Delicate Arch, Arches National Park, Moab, UT Google Maps Location photo was taken from: https://goo.gl/1GOrjf
Arches National Park is an endless menagerie of rocks and formations that dot the skyline, as far as the eye can see. These particular rocks are in the Windows Section of the park, which is right next to the famous Double Arch.
Getting into Bryce in the late afternoon, I only had a few hours at best before sunset. I checked into my hotel as quick as I could, packed up my gear, bundled up in all my layers to stay warm for the chilly night sub 20 degrees and headed out to Bryce Point. This viewing platform give you a stunning panoramic view of the most popular part of the canyon, that consists of the Queens Garden, Navajo Loop and Peekaboo Trail. These are three of the most popular trails everyone hikes on. Able to get camped out at my spot an hour before sunset, I was able to capture the slow progression of the shadowy darkness eating away at the canyon and its sunlight disappearing ever so slowly into the beyond.
