I went here back in November and got there at sunrise. It was freezing ass cold, windy and I was practically running that trail to get there before the light hit. It was an underwhelming sunrise but it was still pretty awesome to see such an iconic place. I just don't see how the people in Utah/Arizona ever get used to be surrounded by such beauty.

I did the same. Forced my wife to get up early and we ran the trail to get about 15min of pics before it was ruined by the sun. Not a cloud in sight. Pics were worth it because we went back with the rest of the family the the harsh shadows killed it.

It didn't help that I had already spent 4 days of hiking 6-10 miles a day in Death Valley. My calves felt like steel and the pain was unreal. Would do again though.

Been a while since I hiked that much.

Gotta go back there again too. We also did Antelope Canyon since its like 10min away but there was so much wind it was blow sand and quite large rocks into the canyon so we got rushed.
