“Mesa Witness”
Story:
A crowd gathers to witness sunrise at Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park.
Crowds.
They have always been around, but these days I think they are increasing due to social media.
Secrets spots are no secret anymore.
That’s not to say that Mesa Arch was ever a secret spot, but it has become more popular in recent years. (Even though I had arrived 90 minutes prior to sunrise, I still was too late to secure a spot underneath the arch.)
You can see why people are here. Underneath the arch, the rock glows a reddish orange from reflected sunlight hitting the cliff face below the arch.
That lovely glow only lasts for about 2-3 minutes. Get there too late, and you’d never know what you missed!
My first and only time to Mesa Arch at the time of this writing produced this photograph.
Location:
Canyonlands National Park, Utah (2018)
