Druid Arch — photo spot in Monticello, UT 84535, USA
Druid Arch
Druid Arch is a dramatic natural sandstone arch framed by the Needles spires in Canyonlands NP (Needles District). Photograph the arch from the basin and from the ridge approach to capture scale against the surrounding red towers. Expect a strenuous ~10–11 mile round-trip hike from Elephant Hill with steep slickrock sections; pay park entrance fees, arrive early for parking, carry water and sun protection. Best light is golden hour or late afternoon side-lighting; mid-day brings harsh shadows. D
