Description

Distance: 1 mile roundtripElevation gain: 100 ftWorld famous viewIncredible sunsetAdd epic shot to your portfolioVery short, and easy hikeMeet some cool people

This quick 0.5 mile trail has a 100 foot climb and ends at the world famous Mesa Arch. Make sure to get there around 4-4:30 am if you want a good spot. Make no mistake, the pictures you have seen look peaceful, but there will be at least 30-50 other photographers out there with you fighting for the best spot.

Use your widest angle, and wait for the sun to come up. For about an hour, the light will hit the bottom of the arch and light it up with an orange glow. This is also a great place to shoot the Milky Way before the sun comes up.

To get to the trailhead from the Island in the Sky Visitor Center, drive south for 6.3 miles and turn left into the parking area for Mesa Arch. If you reach the intersection with Upheaval Dome Road, you have gone too far.

Night Photography at Mesa Arch

From the parking lot, the hike is a .6 mile loop (20-30 min hike round trip). It took 10 minutes to get to the Arch. I arrived at 2am and hiked to the Arch to get some Milky Way shots, definitely arrive earlier to shoot the stars. I explored around when I got to the Arch and came up with a bunch of nice shots. I experimented and did some light painting on the Arch and some old trees.Mesa Arch c...

Mesa Arch

This is an easy 0.6 mile loop. The hike takes you out to Mesa Arch, which is one of the most famous structures of Canyonlands National Park. If you're out with your camera, you can get amazing shots of the arch with the rugged canyon as your backdrop. Some of the best photos of the arch are at sunrise. If you're lucky enough, you snagged a campsite Devil's Garden, making it easy for you to ke...

Hike the Aztec Butte Trail

The Aztec Butte Trail is a two pronged out and back trail for a total of two miles. The trail is single track and easy to follow. After a third of a mile the trail splits. To the left, a trail takes you to the top of a small mesa. There is an informative sign marking the way. On the other side of this mesa is an ancient stone structure called a granary. Descend back to the trail split. The othe...

Catch a Sunset at Green River Overlook

Turn right on Highway 313 after Mesa Arch Trailhead and follow the road past Willow Flat Campground to Green River Overlook. Park at the parking lot. Climb over the railing onto the rock edge. Sit and breathe in that desert wind and distant sun. Simple as that.I recommend camping at Willow Flat to get the most out of Island in the Sky. Sites are available year-round, but they're first-come, fir...

Hike to Murphy Point

Murphy Point, found in the Island In The Sky district of Canyonlands NP, takes hikers on a mesa that ends at an overlook with sweeping vistas over Murphy Basin, the White Rim, and Green River. If you're looking to get away from the tourists, then head to this quiet and often overlooked trail.The trailhead is right off the main road to Grand View Point and the parking lot is pretty small, so kee...

Syncline Loop in Canyonlands NP

Be advised, the NPS signs and maps that warn of a very difficult hike ahead are not hyperbole, as I thought at first. This hike is a loop around the famous Upheaval Dome on an unmaintained trail that leads you down over 1500 feet into the canyon, close to the Green River, then climbs back up 1500 feet and out. We did it in Summer, not knowing anything about it, and I would recommend going in ...
