Theresa and I decided to catch the sunrise at Landscape Arch so getting up early we packed up and checked out of the hotel then headed back to Arches National Park to hike the Devils Garden Trail to Landscape Arch.
The trail is moderately easy with some elevation gain and a gravel surface.Round trip the hike was 2 miles
This shot was taken in front of Landscape Arch looking East to catch the sunrise. It was cold, and as you see very cloudy on this morning. Now all I had to do was turn around, set up the shot and wait for the sun to climb a little higher and light up Landscape Arch.
