  • The Double O Arch is one of the longer hikes in Arches National Park. After reaching the viewpoint on the other side, you have to climb through the "lower O" to reach this view. The light on the arch at sunset was amazing, as was the view of the distant desert.<br />

  • A mother mule deer opens her mouth as if to speak. The shy fawn stays in the background. I didn't expect to see deer in the desert. But this family was right by the campground in Arches National Park.<br />

    Mother Deer
  • These layers of rock are made out of sandstone and are known as fins. They slowly erode away and form the arches that this national park is known for. This scene was behind the Delicate Arch, looking north at sunset.<br />

    Fins at Dusk
  • During the fall, the zodiacal light, or 'false dawn' shines brightly in the east before sunrise. It is caused by dust within our solar system reflecting sunlight. But it can only be seen in dark skies away from light pollution, which makes Arches National Park ideal.<br />

    Light on the Double
  • The snowcapped La Sal Mountains form an incredible backdrop for all the red rock formations in Arches National Park. This was taken after sunset while there was still a soft glow in the west to light up these formations known as fins.<br />

    La Sal Mountains
  • The 290 foot long landscape arch is the longest in the world. But it is also very fragile and could collapse at any time. In the 1990's the arch lost 3 large chunks one at a time. The trail you see in the picture has been off limits for over 20 years because of the danger from rock falls.<br />

    Delicate Panorama
  • The courthouse towers are a large rock formation in the middle of Arches National Park. The three spires on the right are known as the "Three Gossips". The early morning light gave the scene more depth and even brighter colors.
