You can get great photographs of the Arkansas River Valley from Petit Jean’s Grave site on Petit Jean Mountain.  This is a great spot to catch a sunrise as you are facing due east.  I try to frame the image with the various large rocks that surround this spot.  You can climb all around the area looking for the best vantage spot to setup.  You will find a lot of graffiti on the rocks but it’s just part of the scene.  If you are lucky, you will find the valley full of fog as the sun rises.
