I took the word famous out because frankly most people haven't seen Brimhall Double Arch or even Stevens Arch from any perspective. A lot less of them (practically no one) have seen them from the perspective I'm showing you. Brimhall Double Arch (photo #1) is in Southern Capitol Reef National Park a little north of Halls Narrows which I shot from above as viewed in my last post. Brimhall is barely visible in the lower third of the left side of this photo. NOT at all easy to get to this vantage point- much scary exposure . I love the kaleidoscope of colors in this image. The Stevens Arch at sunset photo is unique because those who normally get to see Stevens Arch see it from the canyon bottom, we're 400 feet above the canyon floor "running" the top fo the Wingate formation. Image 3 is The Golden Throne in the heart of Capitol Reef N.P. seen by many but this is from up high and off trail, of all of these perspectives this is the least technical to get to. The 4th image is of the Sewing Machine and Needle, which can be seen by driving Utah's famed Hwy. 95 right thru the heart of Glen Canyon N.R.A. This image is taken from the top of "Hog" a long climb up that's rarely done. We camped out on top. The last image is another one looking down on Rainbow Bridge.
