Skyline Arch Sunrise
Skyline Arch, within Utah's Arches National Park, sits high atop the rocks of the Devils Garden, visible from many areas of the park. It is easy to hike up to the arch, but requires some scrambling and rock-hopping skill in order to approach closer, which I did here to catch the rising sun just right.
The Skyline Arch Trail is short and easy, less than a half-mile round trip hike from the parking lot and back. The arch itself is one of the more popular landmarks in Arches, though not so much as Delicate or Landscape Arch, or the Fiery Furnace. It makes for spectacular photographs, owing to its position, literally, on the skyline. Its proximity to the Devils Garden Campground makes it a perfect hike for those who arrive at the park late in the afternoon and only have a little while to explore after getting situated.
