Arches Sunset Scenic Tour

Link: http://www.canyonlandsbynight.com/tours/

When was the last time you went to Arches National Park? It's been awhile for my staff and I, so every spring we like to reacquaint ourselves with the trips that we sell. Arches National Park is a beautiful place and nothing brings that to mind more than trekking through the popular points.

While out there, I became a photo nut. Yes, I was one of those photo wackos with two cameras glued to my eye instead of watching where I was going. I'm pretty sure my staff members were irritated with me that I kept using them as the subjects of my photos, but who else was I suppose to use? Me? No way.

So I snapped photos as long as they would hold still and I've included them for your enjoyment. The four hour tour wasn't long enough for me, but I think for guests who are short on time, the Sunset Bus Tour would be the best bang for your buck (or time). Some of the sites we visited were Park Avenue, Balanced Rock, Delicate Arch (the viewpoint of course... we only had 4 hours), Landscape Arch and the Windows Section. The tour isn't always done in a bus; for our small group we all piled in a van which could navigate the small roads in Arches better.

While at the Windows Section I tried trading cameras with a group of professional camera guys who were poised for the sunset action. I didn't have any takers, but they found me humorous enough to give me some tips and let me share a bit of space with them as sunset hit both North and South Window. One day I will be as cool as them... but until then I will continue to use what I have.

Enjoy the photos and I'll be sure to post more from the other trips we've taken!
