Light from within and beyond
Colonnade Arch glows from within (Gary Clendening conceived and executed the lighting) under the colder glow of the Milky Way.
The lights of Moab create the glow on the horizon. Colonnade Arch is near Keg Knoll and on the western rim of the Green River Canyon. The Andromeda Galaxy is very close to third, smallest window.
Colonnade Arch, also known as Five Hole Arch, is described by geologists as a buttressed alcove, and has three windows looking to the south and two windows looking up--it is a fascinating structure with just one approach. It sits on the edge of a precipitous drop into Two Mile Canyon to the south and a view of the Green River to the southeast.
Gary Clendening and I checked the route during the day, recording GPS waypoints, and then walked returned on a moonless night at 2 AM, walking across slickrock for more than a mile. Quite an adventure.
