I am a little late to posting this week, but when I saw Egidio’s Lens-Artists Challenge using warm colors, I knew I wanted to share a couple of my photos from Arches National Park. (After all, it is easy to find warm colors in a hot desert.) Fortunately, my visit turned out to be a peaceful experience, and I was grateful for the reservation system that kept the crowds down.
Visiting Arches National Park during the summer was a little daunting, but we were lucky enough to get a reservation and made the most of it–plus, it was not as hot as Arizona in the summer! Moab is just a quick drive away from the park, as well as many other national and state parks, making Arches National Park a great place to visit.
Thanks for stopping by to check out my photos. Hope you have a peaceful week!
Peaceful at Dawn 
Dawn, what a wonderful choice you made with these photos of Arches NP. Your beautiful images truly showed the vibrancy that park offers. We had wonderful hikes there. Park Avenue is such great hike and beautiful view. In another photo, I even see the Three Gossips in the background. Great and gorgeous images! Thanks for sharing this gallery.

Thank you! We went when it was a bit hot, so I didn’t get to do long hikes. Lots of stopping to take photos and short hikes. The sun hit the rocks perfectly, though. Will definitely be going back to see more!

It is a nice park with lots of scenic points in addition to the arches. We were there Mother’s Day weekend. It was already getting warm back then.

Oh, I love Arches! It’s one of my top 5 Nat. Parks. You really hit a home run with the warmth. These are beautiful and bring back great memories of the times I’ve been in the park.

Thank you! 😊 I was pleasantly surprised by our little detour to this park during our long cross-country road trip. I’ve been to Moab before, but the Arches are inspiring.

Arches was a great place to define what warm looks like . I am glad you included people in the one shot of, I think it is Double Arch. It bright light to the size of the arches too.

Yeah, if you notice a lot of my photos don’t have people…I drive my husband nuts. Sometimes I’ll wait till people pass by before taking pics. But in that photo, I liked the perspective of people compared to sheer size of those arches. 😎

I used to keep people out too. I find I add them in more and more when I need perspective, and often there are “selfie takers” at the right place and right time.

I loved your photos. We didn’t get to Arches when we were in Moab but your photos make me want to go there for sure!

Thank you! 😊 Just make sure to get a timed-entry reservation on the nps site. I heard they’re still requiring those. It’s worth it, though!

Yes, they are. It’s the reason we didn’t get to go. Timing/scheduling.

Your photos really capture the vibrant beauty of this wonderful National Park. I think everyone has different personal experiences when they visit , hike and view these magnificent stone structures. The landscape and your photos remind me of the first time I saw this park and was mezmerized by the sheer size and brillant colors of the rocks. Great photography!
