Salt Lake City, Capitol Reef National Park, Natural Bridges National Monument, Arches National Park, and many points between
Upon hearing about the Bortle Class 2 Dark Sky at Natural Bridges National Monument, Mitch was compelled to check it out. Seeing as I’m always up for an adventure we scheduled the trip for a convenient 3-day weekend that just happened to also have a new moon to make the sky extra extra dark. If only it wasn’t cloudy that night! My general opinion on Utah... unbelievably gorgeous state with some scary people living in it. The drive from Salt Lake City toward Natural Bridges was truly magnificent. The less-often photographed parts of Arches were definitely the highlights... especially the first parts of the park that you get to after you pass the visitor center, though it’s probably not worth the extra drive unless you have a full extra day to make it.
