245/365 Delicate Arch
We set off yesterday afternoon on the short but very steep hike up to Delicate Arch for sunset. A 1.5 mile mainly uphill hike with an elevation change of 600ft, 100° heat and a camera pack weighing in at 18kg along with tripod and 3 litres of water. It's always a bit of a tough climb but the view makes it worth it every time. There were hundreds of people up here for sunset as it's Labour Day weekend and Arches National Park's very busy so no chance of getting a shot with no one in it but kinda liked it as it gives the arch some scale. We hung around after everyone had gone back down for the stars but with the moon being almost full it pretty much washed out ant chance of seeing the Milky Way. We did get a bit of light painting done though, more of that to follow!
