USA Mesa Arch
Mesa Arch is, undeniably, one of the spotlight attractions in the Island in the Sky District of Canyonlands National Park. Like, say, Yosemite’s Bridalveil Falls, it’s off the main road and a short, easy hike – but its ease of access should not deter you from visiting – even if you see a bunch of cars at the trailhead.
Photography Tips
Be there around 4 AM to catch the amazing sunrise. Be sure to close your aperture to get sunstars!
The widest the focal length, the better. But don't forget a telephoto lens for varied compositions.
