This could only be Arches. Such a stunningly beautiful place, and I imagine November is a much more sensible time to visit than when I did in July!
Since the landscape is rather stark, the inclusion of the moon is an important compositional element--and since this is so, the moon would be in a compositionally much better place if it were closer to the other elements of your image (the red rock fins). If you had taken this picture maybe half an hour before, the moon would be in a much better spot. Perhaps then the sun would have been too high for there to be the light you were looking for - so maybe this was just a tough shot with the moon in the phase that it was.
I want to like this photo, because it's of a beautiful place, but the placement of the moon makes it hard. My eye keeps getting pulled straight to the top of the frame, far from anything else in the image, to the point that I can barely even concentrate on the rocks. Even though it would make the photo bottom-heavy, you might have been better off cropping out the moon.
