“Mesa Witness”
Location: Canyonlands National Park, Utah (2018)
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.
Sizes are in inches.
Print and canvas sizing are slightly different.
