Arches National Park
Arches National Park
Photography and words by Sarah Robertson
I first visited Arches National Park as a sophomore in college. Growing up in the Pacific North West I had a bit of a narrow mindset on what a nice landscape was. If there wasn’t a waterfall or an abundance of green I was not impressed. But Arches National Park changed all of that for me.
From the moment I arrived I was completely mesmerized by the red rock. I just kept thinking to myself, how does this exist? It just seemed so unearthly – so magical. There is an air of indescribable majesty there. There is something about those unique red arches that feels so natural to my body and soul. It is the place I go when I feel the need to be recharged.
Now that I live in Utah I find myself going to Moab more and more frequently. I love it. Whether my husband and I are running the Red Rock Relay in Moab or exploring the Primitive trails in the park – I find myself just happy to be there.
These images are from our most recent trip in February. All images taken on Portra 400 on a Mamiya AFD 645.
