Delicate Arch Jump

An early start for this trip up to Delicate Arch in Arches National Park, Utah. We hadn't made the hike up here during the day so this was quite the adventure attempting to find this place in the absolute darkness of the early morning. After a 2am start and a few wrong turns we made it up here as you don't see this arch until you are pretty much right on top of it. What an amazing place to be at that time of day/night as it can be quite busy up here for sunset, I think we choose the right time as we were the only ones there. Did a few shots of the night sky but no milky way as it wasn't quite in the right place and as this arch is perched right on the top of a mountain with very steep drop offs on either side its difficult to know where you're going in the dark when you've not been up here before. Just as it was getting light the chipmunks seemed to come out of nowhere and were quite happy to share our cereal bars with us!
