After Lower Calf Creek Falls in the morning and Goblin Valley in the afternoon, I reached Moab in time to make a foray into Arches National Park in the evening.
The cloudy skies overhead provided a dramatic backdrop to features like The Organ...
...and Balanced Rock.
The park was surprisingly uncrowded, so I was able to take a leisurely stroll around the formation and shoot it in different light.
I can't find a name for this formation right next to Balanced Rock, but it certainly seems to deserve one.
I decided to set up shop in the Windows Section and wait for sunset. But I did wait patiently for a clear shot of Turret Arch first.
I got nice golden hour light on the North and South Windows.
There were a decent number of other people here, but not many walked over to take in the South Window up close.
Hanging out in the North Window, I was fortunate to catch a rainbow in the distance.
Unfortunately, by the time sunset came clouds had rolled back in. So the view to the west wasn't what I'd hoped. But even without the planned "payoff," the visit was worth it. There's a reason I've been to Arches three times!
