Sunset, Zion National Park, Utah.
This is looking down into Zion and the Temple of Sinawava. If you look close, you can see a bus parked down there, and a trail leading into the Zion Narrows.

We are home from a fun, but interesting trip. Fun as we saw lots of beautiful country and did a couple of wonderful backpacking trips. Interesting as in the weather. Our past trips during that time of year to the same areas often featured highs in the 90’s. I teased my buddy Patrick a bit for bringing a down jacket, but in the end, I regretted not having mine. This year we had more rain, cold weather and even snow then we would have back home of the Alaska Coast! Pretty crazy, but it did lead to some unique photo opps!
Observation Point
Observation Point, Zion National Park, Utah.
Back from a killer backpacking trip on the East Rim that began with a hike to the top of Observation Point seen here. I knew the view from Observation Point would be amazing since you look down on Angel’s Landing – but had know idea how beautiful the trail would be – it is an awesome trail!
Here are more photos from Zion from earlier trips.
Grand Canyon Photography
Patrick photographing from the South Rim, Grand Canyon National Park, Alaska.
Janine and I, along with fellow Alaska photographer Patrick Endres just got back from a wonderful couple nights backpacking in the bottom of the Grand Canyon. We had a wonderful, wide range of weather including rain – it is actually snowing a bit today as I write this. This was from the evening before – way down in the distance you can actually see Bright Angel Canyon, the location of our campground. I’ll post more images as I have internet.
Alaska Shorebird Migration
Western sandpipers earlier this week, Cordova, Alaska.
Home from a wonderful week in Cordova! We had great weather and lots of birds. This year, for the first time I was able to watch and photograph the migration from the Delta, something few people are able to experience. Millions of birds pass through this strategic location every spring. This image was from Hartney Bay.
I’m home for one day, unpacking, repacking and off to the Grand Canyon and Zion!
