A fantastic short hike that takes you to two large window arches as well as the castle-like Turret Arch structure in Arches NP. Great location for sunrise viewing as you both see the distant mountains lit up in vibrant colors or watch Turret Arch through the North Window. Rock stairs could be slick.

Rock stairs lead to the North Window and the arch above in as the sun continues its morning color show.

Turret Arch and the surrounding rocks are finally bathed in the morning sun while shades of pink light up the distant clouds. A tall pillar may be seen on the left of frame while the upper half of the photo is a light sky blue.

Looking through North Window towards Turret Arch and surrounding pillars. Some pastel colors still linger from the sunrise. A person may be seen at the left edge of the window for scale.
