The sunrise at Mesa Arch is truly spectacular. As indicated in other reviews, you need to arrive well in advance of sunrise because many photographers set up tripods to capture the perfect shot. That means getting to the park before the entrance station is open (so you have to find your way to the arch without a map!), and hiking about a quarter of a mile on a fairly easy trail in the dark. (Headlamps recommended!) Well worth it even if you’re generally not a morning person or hiker!

A must see. Not a long hike and I think just about any skill level can do it. Not wheelchair assessable though. Lots of people. Some will take turns letting others get some photos and some are plain jerks hogging up the space and not letting others get photos. Despite the crowdedness and photo hogs, it’s really special to see.

Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park is an easy hike to a breathtaking vista. Lots of people on the trail and parking lot was full. Try to get there early or come back in the evening. I hear sunset is a spectacular view

This was our second time visiting Mesa Arch and it never gets old. It’s a beautiful photogenic arch. It’s not too long of a walk from the parking lot. Lots of people wanting their picture under the arch with the spectacular view behind it. We did not attempt to be there for the 5:45am sunrise. I’m told there’s dozens of photographers every morning getting a prime spot for the sunrise image.

Don’t miss opportunity! this is an easy to moderate 0.7 mile trail. Short 30 min round trip hike… most part is easy flat but there are some steps and rocks to climb but not bad. Go for sunrise and go early so u can find your spot as it gets crowded as the time comes closer to the sunrise the whole arch gets filled!

A beautiful place to watch the sunrise, even though it was cloudy the day we visited, so we didn't get to see the arch glow. I do wish people would be respectful of others and talk quietly at the sunrise. There are pit toilets at the trailhead.
