When I saw this in person I had gotten the scale entirely wrong in my head. I'd never seen a pic with a person in it so I thought it was 10-15ft tall. I remember turning the corner and just saying 'woah'.

The opposite with landscape arch, I thought it was maybe 50-100'. Was a little more disappointed seeing it haha.

This is an 8-panel panorama shot from Bryce Point early Tuesday morning. I’d just wrapped up shooting a panorama of the Milky Way a few hours earlier and decided to catch the sunrise before making the trip back home. I originally captured this as a potential foreground for the Milky Way but after stitching it together I decided it was perfect as a stand-alone image. I guess sometimes the least expected and least planned photos work out the best.

Nice! I was there with a friend who was taking star photos (so it was pitch black), and it was a bit scary haha. They actually went into it for some different angles and it was fine so it’s probably not as steep as it feels. At least there are some flat parts once you make it around the bowl.

This! I refused to walk the bowl to get underneath the arch. My fiancé made it though and got some awesome photos.

FWIW - going in February was the best. No crowds. We had the arch completely to ourselves around 9-10am which is unheard of during the peak seasons. It was magical.

Super small ice patches on some places but nothing that felt dangerous.
