What makes a good sunset at Arches National Park?

Arches National Park contains over 2,000 natural stone arches, and the Entrada sandstone they're carved from turns deep red and orange at golden hour. Delicate Arch is the iconic shot: you hike 3 miles in and arrive at the rim just as the arch catches the last direct light of the day. Mesa Arch at sunrise and Balanced Rock at sunset are the two most accessible high-reward positions. Spring and fall are the best seasons — summer heat is intense and afternoon thunderstorms are common, but they also produce dramatic cloud structure that can make for extraordinary skies.
