A morning sunrise at Mesa Arch can be truly magnificent. Watching the sun come up over the ridge, then the light streaming through the rocks and spilling over into the canyon while reflecting and lighting the arch with a red glow made for an spectacular morning. This location was the first on my list of places to photograph in the southwest recently. Mesa Arch is the most famous sunrise location in the Moab area located in Canyonlands National Park.
