Landscape Arch is the longest arch in North America with a light opening of 306 feet (93.3 meters). This awe-inspiring expanse is only 6 feet (1.8 meters) in diameter at its narrowest. Large segments of the arch came crashing down in the 1990s – proof that the park’s landscape can change dramatically in a instant. Although other arches have fallen, Landscape Arch still hangs on by a very thin thread.
I drove to the Devils Garden parking area about 45 minutes before sunrise and hiked to the viewing area for Landscape Arch arriving some 25 minutes before the sunrise. I found this spot with some nice foreground subjects and sat up my gear in preparation for the sunrise. The glorious light that lit up the arch as the sun rose over the horizon was amazing.

The canvas is then stretched around a 1.5-inch-deep wood support structure to provide depth and elegance. Our canvas material has a delightfully matte finish that looks spectacular in any lighting conditions while retaining maximum vibrancy and contrast. Click here to learn more.
