Night Road To Double Arch – Milky Way, Arches National Park

Please click on the photo to view it larger and more clearly!  Thanks!

The enormous – and rather unusual – Double Arch made a brief apperance in an Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade movie. The larger opening has a span of 148 feet (45 m) and a height of 104 feet (32 m). This is a wide angle view looking over and through the larger of the two spans toward the Milky Way to the south. You can see the headlight trail of a car leaving the nearby Windows Arch area. I light painted the giant Double Arch with a Dorcy LED flashlight.

Balanced Rock Milky Way – Arches National Park, Utah

Please click on the photo to view it larger and more clearly!  Thanks!

Depending on what angle, Balanced Rock may appear as a ball on an bottle or the open lid of a garbage can, opening underneath the Milky Way as we are facing more or less south on a moonless night. What we’ll all agree upon is that it is amazing, as some estimate that the 55 foot tall sandstone boulder topping the stone pedestal weighs about 3500 tons…meaning you don’t want to stand under it during a stiff wind.

Our New World – Milky Way Through Double Arch, Utah

Please click on the photo to view it larger and more clearly!  Thanks!

Feeling like an explorer on a new world in Arches National Park, Utah, watching the Milky Way drift toward the south as night progresses. The odd rocky formations in the distance are the rocks near the Windows Arches and Turret Arch. You can see the headlight trail of a car leaving this area. As you can see, the archway is enormous, extending up approximately 104 feet (31 m), with a span of 148 feet (45 m).

Door to Infinity: Milky Way Over Delicate Arch (Arches National Park)

Please click on the photo to view it larger and more clearly!  Thanks!

Gazing up at Delicate Arch feels like peering into the infinite beyond, the magnificent arch acting as a portal for the center of our galaxy and beyond. For this photo, I waited a bit for the Milky Way to drift farther south, then lined it up underneath the arch for this image. I light painted the arch with a small Streamlight LED flashlight to keep the arch from going to silhouette. The Milky Way is easy to see on a moonless night such as this one. Thanks!!!!!!

I hiked up just before sunset, then hiked back in the dark. Everyone asks how hiking back in the dark for 1.5 miles was. It wasn’t bad. And it didn’t feel dangerous because the ledge is wide enough. What was confusing was the slickrock portion. 2 or 3 times, I momentarily lost the trail, lost sight of where the cairns were, and after walking 20 steps or so, would double back and get back on track. If you take your time, don’t panic, and keep your wits about you, hiking back in the dark is not bad. I had been prepared to stay up there all night if necessary, but all went well.Title: Door to Infinity
