Best sunrise in Moab? Though there are many popul

Best sunrise in Moab?
Though there are many popular spots for sunrise near Moab, two are so popular they pack out with people an hour before sunrise. 🌅 1. Delicate Arch in Arches National Park - requires a 1.5 mile uphill hike in the dark but you’re unlikely to be alone.
2. Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park - short .35 mile easy hike, you still won’t be alone. Even though the weather was not kind enough to give us a decent sunrise at Delicate Arch, we were able to capture the beauty of sunrise at Mesa Arch. What’s your favorite Moab sunrise spot? ***********************************

We watched the storm inch towards us as it crossed

We watched the storm inch towards us as it crossed the canyon. When the first drops of rain hit the platform we were on, we slowly started making our way back to the car. That is until a crack of lightening rang out over our heads. We’ve never run so fast with all our camera gear 😅. We thought it rarely rained in the desert 🏜 so we must be seeing a year’s worth on this trip.
However, it did make for great sunrise photos at Dead Horse Point State Park. ************************************

Who has been to Capitol Reef National Park? ***S

Who has been to Capitol Reef National Park? ***Save this post if you plan on visiting*** Of Utah’s Mighty 5 National Parks, Capitol Reef National Park is the least visited. This is probably because GPS routes traffic up to Highway 70 as the quickest way between Bryce Canyon and Moab. However, you’ll miss Scenic Byway 12 though Escalante and Boulder. Though we got caught in snow and rain for part of the journey, it was still one of the prettiest roads we’ve seen in Utah yet and shouldn’t be missed. Plus, you’d miss the phenomenal views of Capitol Reef National Park. Favorite viewpoint:
* Panorama Point Favorite easy walks/hikes
*Hillmans Bridge
*Petroglyphs Walk
*Grand Wash Must eats:
*Grab a pie from Gifford House in the park
*Try a Capitol Burger in Torrey - yum! ******************************** #expert.explorers

Who recognizes this amazing viewpoint? Next stop

Who recognizes this amazing viewpoint? Next stop on our western US tour has been Bryce Canyon. Luckily, we’ve had more than one morning to try for sunrise here. This beautiful capture was from Sunrise Point. However, Inspiration Point is another jaw dropping stop worth getting up early for. The weather just wasn’t as kind to us today. *Sunrise Point is also the best starting place to hike the Queens Garden Trail to the Navajo Loop and up Wall Street.
The 2.9 mile moderate trail has a 600 feet elevation change, which is most noticeable as you climb the Wall Street switchbacks. * ************************************** #expert.explorers

Good morning Zion National Park! ***save this post

Good morning Zion National Park!
***save this post to get this view***
The tiny parking lot only had one space left after we arrived. It was obviously a popular spot for sunrise.
As we clambered up the rocks in the dark, we gripped the railings to keep our balance on the narrow ledges. Thank goodness for our head torches to light the way.
We lost the trail in a few spots, footsteps of other hikers were the only clue on which way to go.
By the time we reached the top, a few people had already grabbed their places and were awaiting the show.
Despite the cold wind on our faces, we grabbed a seat, and waited for the light to hit.
Though it wasn’t the “perfect” sunrise light, as the clouds took over. It sure was the perfect spot. We’re in love with these views. **Canyon Overlook Trail in Zion National Park ***
Parking just past the tunnel.
About a 30 min hike one way.
Obviously, go for sunrise 😉 ********************************* #expertexplorers #zionnationalpark #sunrisenationalpark #utahtravel #sunrisetrail #morninglight #nationalpark #utahnationalparks #sunrise #sunriseviewpoint
