Morning and sunset light are both excellent in Arches and each does indeed give a different look. We were blessed with some dramatic cloud formations (from a storm that had gone through the day before) during our ride that added depth and shadows to the views even during mid-day. Wondrous light most of the day though, simply because of the incredibly beautiful rock formations.

I’d luv to go back for a few days of hiking and photography to capture the ways light affects certain views from sunrise to sunset. Arches is one of the few places i'd say that about.

The La Sal Mountains, about 20 miles southeast of Moab, might have some great foliage colors now. It was just the beginning of change a couple of weeks ago when we drove through that area on our way home.

hoping for many wonderful moments on your trip!!!!!
