The Goblins of Goblin Valley State Park
Along the edge of the San Rafael Desert, Goblin Valley State Park is a relatively unknown park when compared to the Mighty 5 of Utah that eclipse it.
Travel & Adventure – 2016 in Photography
Although still totally part time, my 2016 photography definitely kind of grew to a new stage this past year. Not only was I able to build up the business a bit, but I really ticked off some major long-time photography goals throughout the year.
Horseshoe Bend – Page, AZ
Of all the places along the Colorado that I’ve seen, including the Grand Canyon, for some reason I almost wanted to be let down by Horseshoe Bend.
Lower Antelope Canyon – Page, AZ
Lower Antelope Canyon is the less visited of the two (but still very busy!!) because there is some climbing up and down some steep ladders and at about a half mile long, it’s more of a hike.
Upper Antelope Canyon – Page, AZ
Upper Antelope Canyon is the most visited of the two because not only is it all ‘ground-level,’ not requiring any climbing, but being relatively short (only about 600′ long), it can be a quick and easy excursion.
Monument Valley: The Wild West
Monument Valley had been on my list to visit and photograph for a long time. I had driven by on US 163 a few times, always mid-day on my way home from other adventures, but I finally set aside specific time to stop and get into the park for some golden hours during a four day road trip.
The 2016 American Southwest Road Trip Through Utah & Arizona
There are certain iconic images that I seem to see everywhere. Some I can shake out of my head pretty quickly, but others stick with me to the point of near-obsession.
The Famous Maroon Bells Fall Foliage
Outside of Aspen, the Maroon Bells (Maroon Bells Lake) is arguably one of the most magical spots in Colorado and because of the easy access, it’s the most photographed scene in the state.
The 2016 San Juan Skyway Fall Colors Tour
I can confidently say that photographs of the San Juan Skyway fall colors are some of the most iconic and coveted images throughout the photography world.
Loveland Pass & the West Ridge
A few weeks ago, I had some friends planning a sunrise hike along the west ridge and looking for something to do, I drove up for sunset, slept in my car, and hiked with them the next morning.
Backpacking Dora Lake, Eagles Nest Wilderness, Colorado
Fortunately, knowing what we were getting into, we had prepared ourselves for the absolute worst so we got to camp at Dora Lake more energized than expected.
Knowles Canyon Overlook in Rabbit Valley
One of my standard catalysts for some of the places I visit is simply from driving past a sign for something and thinking, “I should check that out sometime.”
