The Park Avenue skyscrapers - A.K.A., red rock monoliths - are the first red rock sculptures you'll encounter in Arches National Park, Utah. It was fun to get out of the car and hike through Mother Nature's dusty street. We did it early, before the temperature escalated. Unfortunately, the wee hours of the morning didn't make for great photography. But we loved having the park all to ourselves. Even though the sun hadn't warmed the rock and saturated the view, it still looked amazing.
I love this angle.
As you travel through the city, you'll see: Three Gossips, Courthouse Towers, Queen Nefertiti, Queen Victoria, the Organ and the Tower of Babel.
If you look closely!

Hi Sharon
My husband and I have yet to visit Utah and see all the national parks there. We hope to drive there next spring before the summer heat. I loved all your photos and info about this area in Arches. I can't wait to see it all someday!
Sharon - the rock formations are jaw dropping. I would never get tired of walking among them and admiring the structure, the height, the color. And the setting is mesmerizing with the desert scrub and cactus. Your shot with the dead tree in the foreground is my favorite! Thanks for hosting the blog hop!
The light is perfect, if you ask me. And all the pictures are wonderful to look at and ponder. :-)
Hello these photos bring back memories of my visit there. The Three Gossips is a photo and scene I have too. It is a gorgeous park, love the rock formations.
Happy Monday, enjoy your day and new week ahead!
That is an amazing place. Looks quite unique. Doubt I will ever get to see it so thanks for the tour.
Such an amazing and magical place. I haven't been there for many decades. This makes me want to go back. Even with poor lighting, you still took some great photos Sharon.
What fabulous scenery!
Nice shots. In the first one I would say that the royal carpet is laid out for a visit. Very nice.
Great shots. This is in my bucket list for sure.
Worth a Thousand Words
Such awesome formations. You always travel and share the best places. Thanks.

I visited Arches NP this summer. I thought southern Utah, including the area around Moab, was absolutely beautiful with stunning scenery. I would like to visit again one day and spend more time in a few of the places that we didn't have much time to explore.
Loved looked at your photos.
We went in the early evening, just before a thunder storm, and it was wonderful. But we can't get out of the car and do any hiking, so our views were limited. Absolutely LOVE your photos!
Is this a Monday link-up...would love to join in with travel photos some time!
What a fabulous place! I love the formations. Your photos make them look so good!
I am trying to convince my husband that we need to spend a summer in Utah because there are just to many things to explore in a week. Have a great weekend.
Wow, lovely … nature’s sculptures are incredible. The wooden antlers really got my attention!
So amazing how the rock formations have eroded in this area, and so photogenic! The rocky spires are amazing. I think photo #6 is my favorite. Have a great weekend!
I haven't been to Arches but Bryce also has some amazing rock structures. - Margy
Love your road trip capture . Please tell something about my captures on my blog.
I have a similar picture to the one of your husband trying to move a tilting rock in that park! It is Bill AND our son together pretending to do it! I loved our visit to Canyonlands, Arches, and Moab (not a park I know, but also has great scenery).
