Worth the easy hike, this was awesome! The view is like none of the other arches we saw. More

It's an easy walk up the path to the arch and the view is wonderful. More

OK, it seems the predominant opinion is to view Mesa Arch at sunrise..and yes, the sun rises to reflect off the underside of the arch..its fabulous. However, visiting Mesa Arch at sunset takes no second place in my opinion. At sunset, the sun is behind the view thru the arch and is lighting up the red and gold sandstone in... More

We started our day at Canyonlands before sunrise. Arriving at the Mesa Arch trailhead parking lot at 7:00 we found it to be FULL!

We hiked 20 minutes to the Arch following the trail. Bring flashlights! You are leaving early in the morning to beat all the other tourists mostly photographers to get a... More

This is a typical must do if you are visiting the Canyonlands National Park. The best time of the day is exactly at sunrise, when you have the warmest light passing through the arch. If you go later, expecially in summer, you will have too much humidity in the air to take good photos. The trail is very short, just... More
