Arches NP is all you ever heard it would be. It will be hard to find solitude, but beauty abounds.

Great photos! At what location was your Delicate Arch photo taken from (along the trail or an overlook parking location)?

I agree. ANP offers so many photographic opportunities, as your sample shows. I've visited ANP twice now. I can highly recommend this national park to any landscape photographer. Please see my sample photographs of this place of natural beauty.

Thanks, JayRay. I know of 3 viewpoints for the arch. The most common view (think Utah License plates) involves a pretty grueling 3 mile hike, much beyond my aged abilities. The easiest is about 50 yards from a parking lot, but the view is VERY distant (think big telephoto). But about a mile beyond the parking lot up an easier (but still fairly hefty)rise than Viewpoint No.1 is where I was for my shot. I wanted morning and the most common location looks into the rising sun.

Thanks, "view". I doubt I'll be able to do a second trip as you have, but I'm happy for my adventure, though I'm wondering how I missed the location for your third shot here. I sure like it.

Thanks for compliment. The viewpoint sits just off the road in, to the left, and it pretty much stands out. You may've been distracted and buzzed by it.
If in Moab again, try visiting Canyonlands NP, too. You will find dramatic landscapes there as well.
