Hiking in Zion Narrows

A couple of hikers making their way up the Zion Narrows.

I have written this before – but hiking up a river while surrounded by 1,500 foot high cliffs is just an amazing, fun experience!

We have done this hike on a few different trips – hard to come here and not do it.  But in the past it has always been in October – I was surprised at how many more people were up there in May as compared to October.  I can’t begin to imagine what July must be like.

Yesterday afternoon we arrived at one of my favorite National Parks – Zion!

I usually don’t photograph from such common vantage points, but with out much time to scout, I thought what the heck, jumped on my bike and we road up to the “bridge”  An older fall image from this same location has sold really well, so it doesn’t hurt to have a Spring version.

Here are more Zion National Park photos.

Lake Powell Camping

This was a wonderful sunrise while camping near West Canyon on Lake Powell last weekend.  Our tent and a Lund skiff is our version of a house boat.  🙂  It was a great time!

Last Thursday night in Williams, Arizona.

We moved to Williams, Arizona – a cute, little historic town that has done a great job at embracing its Route 66 history.  Tomorrow we head up to Page and Northern Arizona red rock country!

We moved here partly because campground reservations weren’t available for the weekend in the Grand Canyon -and it put me closer to some other places I wanted to photograph.

It also put me closer to Phoenix, which is where I was for my nature photography seminar Saturday at the Desert Botanical Gardens.  I had a great time, and meet a bunch of really nice, passionate photographers.  I look forward to doing more.
