Off the Beaten Trail

The Milky Way rises up in an arch over the unusual rock formations of the Needles District in Utah's Canyonlands National Park.

 

The Needles District is not the usual area that everyone goes to shoot dark sky's while around Moab, because of that there are much less people around this area of the park and you really feel like you're out in the middle of nowhere at night, it was a fantastic place to do some night photography.
