Experience a private desert sunset and watch the last of the light kiss the night atop a secluded high cliff inside Arches National Park. Our hidden sunset location offers a way to experience the most special moment of the day away from the massive park crowds in a way that few visitors do. Beyond and high above Landscape Arch lies an enchanted area, one of the most magical places in the park. Your visit to the upper reaches of the Devil’s Garden requires a short, but steep climb up a picturesque sandstone fin (could be an issue for some with a fear of heights or range of motion issues). Part of the hike takes place after sunset with limited natural light. In June and July the sun sets behind a rock and cannot be viewed directly from the overlook, however, that does not take away from the uniqueness of this hike. ***Please note that we do not sell our products directly on "Cool Destinations".
