Sprague Lake Sunrise Reflection

I’m in the process of adding a shopping cart to this site for the purchase of prints.

The Canyonlands National Park website has a new photo gallery.

There are no entry fees into Canyonlands National Park this Weekend.

Heading for Moab, Arches or Canyonlands (and Cedar Mesa) in August can produce great images if you can beat the heat.

After many weeks of clear and sunny (terrible for photographers) it appears we are heading into a weather system that is likely to provide morning and afternoon cloud cover.

The Green and Colorado rivers separate Canyonlands into three land districts in addition to the Horseshoe Canyon detached unit. Each destination within Canyonlands offers different opportunities for sightseeing and exploration.

There are no roads that directly link the districts. Although they may appear close on a map, traveling between them requires two to six hours by car. Most people find it impractical to visit more than one area in a single trip.

1. Island in the Sky
2. White Rim Road
3. Needles
4. Maze
5. Orange Cliffs Unit (Glen Canyon NRA)
6. Horseshoe Canyon
7. Green River
8. Colorado River
9. Cataract Canyon

Canyonlands National Park, Arches National Park and Rocky Mountain National Park will be part of the nation-wide program of no admission fees thia weekend.

Southeastern Utah is a paradise for photographers.

On a recent workshop we arrived at Dead Horse Point State Park while it was still dark.
