USA Mesa Arch
One of the most iconic landmarks in Canyonlands National Park.
Photography Tips
Get there on a weekday before sunrise to stake out a decent spot for your tripod. I took this photo seven years ago and had the area to myself. One of my friends was there two years ago and arrived right at sunrise to find about 75 other tripods already in place.
Travel Information
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.
