Wilson Arch (Utah) - October 2013

With Arches National Park closed with the rest of the government in early October, we stopped by Wilson Arch on US Route 191 south of Moab several times. The first time was in the early afternoon. My husband and father climbed up to rocky slope and discovered that the wind through the hole in the rock was quite brisk. My husband sat down to take his pictures and my dad took a few quick ones and started down. Later in the afternoon we pasted by the arch again so I got the early and late afternoon pictures below on the same day.

A few mornings later, we happened to come by the arch just as the sun was shining through the hole in the rock.
