Earlier this month we spent an evening in Moab, Utah while on our way from Flagstaff to Leadville, Colorado. The purpose of our trip was a multi-day ski trip to the Uncle Bud’s Hut which is part of the 10th Mountain Division Hut System.

We arrived in Moab in late afternoon and did a quick check in at our hotel. Then we left for some sunset and twilight photography in Arches National Park. The sun was already low in the sky and I decided to stop at the first interesting spot. From here we were able to watch the sunset colors on Balanced Rock as well as the moon rise behind it.

I would have preferred to be farther away from the rock so that the moon would appear larger compared to the rock but I’m not too disappointed with the images that I did get.
