It is quite spectacular for those few minutes after sunrise. The sun reflects off the cliff below the arch and onto the bottom of the arch. The Spring and Fall are best to capture the sunburst as it rises above the horizon in the distance. This is probably the most famous arch and location within Canyonlands.
