Arches National Park - Stargazing and natural beauty

Arches National Park was very high on Bryan's list of things to see and do.  

Bryan was hoping and praying for a clear day and cloudless night.  Arches is also a Dark Sky Park and with the moon rising later in the night, we also went out for some real star gazing.  


An off-road trip with a picnic lunch was planned for this outing.










You can see galaxies and a comet in the lower right
