Hello all! We will be going to Utah arriving August 3rd, Plan is to go to Arches Nat'l. Park that evening and night. While there I want to photograph the Milky Way. I've only done it once and wasn't thrilled, yet satisfied for a first timer. So I plan on really getting that "one" photo if you will. I have photo pills on the phone but I am looking for first hand knowledge from you living in Utah when the Milky Way is rising, arching. I would love to get one arched across the sky. I know during that time that my time is limitied due to the moon's rise and setting etc...any help here is appreciated. The plan is to also to go to Little Wild Horse Canyon, The House of Fire, and Monument Valley. Anyone here if you have photographed any of these what's your preferred time of day, and psossily settings? I'm not to worried about settings because I'll photograph until I can't photograph no more...We leave Utah on the 6th to head back to Denver to fly out on the 9th. A stop along the way just not sure where yet. in Colorado anyone have suggestions for RMNP? Cripple Creek? Royal Gorge? Thank you for any input.

I would definitely skip Royal Gorge. Giant rip off. Also Cripple Creek unless you like to gamble. I would second Mt. Evans and Colorado Natl. monument as places to visit especially because they are on your way if coming in on I70. Chances to see various wildlife and beautiful scenery. Have a wonderful trip.
