We were backpacking in the desert in the needles district of Canyonlands

Me and someone else had been at our campsite in Canyonlands for a couple of hours and it had been dark for around one hour. We were taking pictures of the stars (with all headlamps and flashlights out) around 10 feet from our tent. We both saw a bright orange light through thin tree branches, we looked at it for a few seconds and decided to get a better look because we were both intrigued. We moved around the tree and it was gone. We went back to the same spot we saw it but it was gone. The light from our point of view was a half inch in diameter but we had no idea how far away it was. We went to bed. The next morning, we tried to find where it came from. Behind our campsite (where the light came from) was a small canyon that was impassable due to giant rocks. Our best bet on where the light came from was whether it was 15 or so feet from us or a couple of miles or more on top of a rock formation around a hundred feet tall, definitely not possible for a human to get to or probably all ground animals. It was at Chesler Park in Canyonlands.
