Spring Desert
My latest trip to UT came in May of 2007. Though these images don’t really show it, the landscape was alive with color. Flowers I’d never seen the likes of lay spread across the land, as far as one could see at times. It was rather different from my previous experiences, as they’d been filled [...]
Potash Pano
This image was taken near the Potash mining facility, which is the ‘back entrance’ into Canyonlands NP. You can see smoke from the site rising in the upper-left corner in front of the rock face.
Signs of Life
These images are a bit astray from my norm, but I couldn’t help but post them. The shot of the Blazer is kind of a funny story. This guy got stuck in a flooded out wash just in front of us. After we unsuccessfully tried pulling him out, this big Blazer showed [...]
Canyonlands’ White Rim
These images come from October, 2006, when Canyonlands National Park received twice its annual rainfall. It was a dangerous time to be in the park, with flash floods around every corner and boulders falling out of the cliffs all night. Laying in my tent I could hear them crashing down, released after eons [...]
Zion Times
Zion was a lot different than I thought it would be. I felt cramped, even with a wide angel lens. That was likely because, 1. you’re in a canyon, and 2. there are millions of people everywhere. Most of the places I like to visit in UT are either remote, less visited or both. I [...]
Mas Pariah
I’m going to keep with the desert theme, but with some color in this post. The last image in this set was taken well after dark in Pariah Canyon. We hiked out under a full moon with no flashlights or headlamps. Fun, crazy adventure.
Coyote Buttes
I’ve come across a great group of photos I took while visiting the Pariah Canyon and Vermillion Cliffs Wilderness area, which spans the Utah/Arizona border. This area gave not only amazing scenes to work with, but a break from heavy snows of the day prior (see last photo in series). Perfect clouds, a beautiful hike [...]
