The most important planning tip is to know exactly where the sun will rise on the horizon from the perspective of the view under the arch. This changes throughout the year and will dictate where you choose to setup at the arch. We use an app called PhotoPills ( Apple / Android) which allows us to know exactly when and where the sun will rise. It was invaluable at Mesa Arch. Mesa Arch sunrise tip: we were there 90 minutes before sunrise during our winter visit and got one of the prime spots. All the good spots were filled about 60 minutes before sunrise.
Camera and Lens: I used a Sony 16-35mm lens on a Sony A7rII to shoot the sunrise at Mesa Arch. While the 16mm wide angle lens was fine, a wider (i.e. a 12mm or 14mm lens) would give more flexibility when capturing the vista with the entire arch in frame. A photographer beside me on the day had a 12mm ultra wide and the photos were incredible.

It’s about a 45-60 minute drive to Mesa Arch parking lot from Moab and from there another 15 minute walk to the arch. In my case the sun would rise just before 06.00 am, which meant I got up at 03.30, took off at 04.00 and got to Mesa Arch at about 05.00 am. I wanted to be sure I was in time as it would be a once in a lifetime for me.

Be present and enjoy the sunrise as much as the photography experience. Let yourself get discouraged by people saying it’s not the sunrise you will expect. If you keep expectations low, you will be surprised, just like I was. Be late. I was about the 6th or 7th person to arrive at Mesa Arch, by the time I left and the sun had completely risen, there were about five times as much visitors. Most of them were too late. Too bad for them. Some even asked me if they could have some of my pictures. Per 1 cup: 190 calories, 1 g fat (0 g saturated fat), 230 mg sodium, 47 g carbs (8 g fiber, 19 g sugar), 5 g protein

Mesa Arch sunrise tip: We highly recommend using a headlamp torch when hiking before dawn. Once you reach Mesa Arch there is a small elevated ledge running along beneath the front the arch. It’s unlikely you’ll be the only person at the arch but, if you are, then be aware: it is a 1,300 foot drop to the canyon below. Tips for Photographing Mesa Arch at Sunrise If it weren't for the seven different types of sweeteners added to this cereal, sugar would be the first item found on the ingredient list. If you want to nourish your system, try doing so without ingesting highly processed foods like soy protein isolate, modified corn starch, acacia gum, and the potentially carcinogen-containing preservative, BHT. Quaker Oatmeal Squares Golden Maple Allow for drive time and hike time: remember to allow around 45 minutes to drive from Moab and another 15 minutes to get to the arch from the parking lot.

The people behind the counter will most likely discourage you to drive all the way to Canyonlands to see the sunrise at Mesa Arch when you’re there in spring or summer. According to the gentleman I spoke to “I would never get the pictures I was looking for because the sun wasn’t high enough for that, rather go to Dead Horse State Park instead.” Don’t believe them, I’ve heard of people listening to this and they missed out on what I think was my prettiest sunrise ever.
