| no partners | | Devil's Garden Primitive Loop is one of our favorite hikes in the Moab area - we do it almost every time we visit the area.
This year I decided to take all of the side trips along the loop. After taking the short side trip for photographing Landscape Arch, I continued around the loop and went to Navajo Arch and Partition Arch. Continuing the loop again, we went to Black Arch and then Double O Arch.
I then hiked to Dark Angel. If you're going to skip a side trip, this is the one to skip. While I did hike all the way to Dark Angel and then hiked up some nearby fins to find a favorable vantage point from which to photograph it, I ended up using a shot that I took on the trail where Dark Angel is framed by a pair of trees. You might do just as well to photograph it with a long lens from the Double O area.
Continuing on, I split off again and took shots of Private Arch from both sides.
Finally, towards the end of the hike, I went to see Pine Tree Arch and Tunnel Arch, something I had not done in many years. Pine Tree Arch was more interesting than I had remembered.
This is a good hike, though it's always sort of busy. |
