Winter: while you will have to contend with changeable and cold weather conditions, there will be considerably less people visiting the park. This means you won’t have to arrive at the arch as early. You may also have the opportunity to photograph the park with a blanket of snow!
Wake up early! It’s about a 45-60 minute drive to Mesa Arch parking lot from Moab and from there another 15 minute walk to the arch. In my case the sun would rise just before 06.00 am, which meant I got up at 03.30, took off at 04.00 and got to Mesa Arch at about 05.00 am. I wanted to be sure I was in time as it would be a once in a lifetime for me. Plan ahead to capture the best sunrise shots of Mesa Arch: 1 | Get to Mesa Arch early (really early!) The sun rises from behind Mesa Arch and, as it reaches the level of the arch, the reflections of the sunbeams create a magical starburst effect under the arch. Most photographers are drawn to Mesa Arch for this signature sunrise shot of the starburst sun and the warm golden glow it casts on the inside of the arch.All times are local time for Mesa. They take into account refraction. Dates are based on the Gregorian calendar. Today is highlighted. Per 1 cup: 253 calories, 5 g fat (0 g saturated fat), 187 mg sodium, 51 g carbs (4 g fiber, 17 g sugar), 4 g protein Allow for drive time and hike time: remember to allow around 45 minutes to drive from Moab and another 15 minutes to get to the arch from the parking lot. Let yourself get discouraged by people saying it’s not the sunrise you will expect. If you keep expectations low, you will be surprised, just like I was.
Mesa Arch is busy at sunrise so you need to get there early if you want to secure a prime photography spot. The downside is that Mesa Arch is a magnet for photographers and sunrise chasers. On most mornings it is common to see a crowd of photographers perched onto the small ledge in front of the arch waiting for sunrise. It can be a bit of a jostle to protect one of the coveted spots with a perfect view of the vista but most are respectful and stay out of each others frame. The certified-organic ingredients inside our flakes have been grown in harmony with nature, reducing exposure to toxic synthetic chemicals and GMOs. It's the positive choice for our bodies and for our planet.It goes without saying that it’s forbidden to walk on the arch. It’s an incredible natural wonder so lets keep it that way and stay off it! 11 | Try to stay present and enjoy the view Per 1 cup: 120 calories, 1.5 g fat (0 g saturated fat), 180 mg sodium, 25 g carbs (1 g fiber, 10 g sugar), 2 g protein Don't let their high fiber and protein counts fool you. These oatmeal squares are full of bad-for-you ingredients yellow 5 and 6 as well as caramel color—a chemically-derived additive which commonly contains an artificial form of phosphorous that's been shown to leach calcium from our bones. (Oh and P.S., the "Honey Nut" Oatmeal Squares flavor has no actual honey listed anywhere on the ingredient list.) Special K Fruit & Yogurt Oh and there’s one bonus piece of advice: enjoy it! Don’t watch the sunrise at Mesa Arch just through your lens but also take the time to really enjoy it. You won’t be sorry, this is a moment that will last in your memory forever!
