Description
The spectacular Natural Bridges National Monument lies somewhere in the remote Cedar Mesa, southeast Utah. Isolated from the surrounding landscape of the Four Corners, there are no major cities or settlement that could spoil the night time view of the stars and celestial objects.
With the help of a software that tells me the position of said objects, I positioned myself in the wash underneath the bridge at 4:30 AM. in a way that the bridge would dissect the Milky Way.
The process itself was a very arduous and scary one, as it involved a 4:00 AM drive from Blanding, UT, 40 miles away and I hike down the wash from the parking lot with all the equipment. Nevertheless, I think it was worth it! Enjoy!
