✨ The Aurora Borealis lit up the skies over Arches earlier this week. Solar wind colliding with Earth’s magnetic field energizes gases in the atmosphere to cause this dance of light.

Watch for more light shows during this crest of the eleven-year solar cycle.

As days get shorter and cooler, Arches' desert landscapes are settling into autumn. Blooming yellow rabbitbrush dot area roadways with color, while blazing yellow cottonwoods and red oaks line some drainages.

🦇"The batty bat cried out in fright, 'Turn on the dark! I'm afraid of the light!" -- Shel Silverstein

Scientists monitor the health of bats in the park. Bats play important roles, like pollinating plants & dispersing seeds, and they eat A LOT of mosquitoes🦟 and other insects.

What do these arches look like to you? While they are officially known as "Twin Arch," visitors also refer to this formation as "Skull Arch" or "Donkey Kong Arch," depending on what shapes they see in the rocks.

We would love to know what you see—what would you call it?
