The Green river overlook is one of the most photographed points in Canyonlands National Park. This particular evening, there were hardly 3 photographers waiting for the sun to set over the Green River as it cut through the Island in the Sky. Definitely felt a very special occasion for photography.

On our x-country travel we stopped at our favorite National Park, Canyonlands in Utah near Moab. In Canyonlands is an arch called Mesa, just a short hike away. We always stop here. Luckily we got here just as the sun was setting and every couple minutes the sky and landscape changes colors. If you squat down, you can make the arch frame the view like so.

I was in a road trip in the west America. I stopped by Canyonlands, an amazing National Park, that offers crazy views. I felt small and loved that. Canyons are absolutely beautiful. I recommend everyone to go there.

I visited Canyonlands National Park and Mesa Arch. The view through the arch is captivating. One will probably have to wait until other visitors move out of your field of view due to the popularity of the arch. You have probably seen photos of sunrises through the arch with the top side of the arch lite up by the sun rising. This view through the arch is just as impressive with the terrain being far in the distance.

Last picture of the night. One of the best takeaways from this solo trip, the grand view of the Canyonlands. The canyons are actually way deeper and steeper than you imagine. Standing beside the cliff, listening to the sound of the breezing wind and the caws of crows, that was the way of life. I went to Utah with only certain expectations and came back home with a bucket of joy. And also, the couple who happened to be in this picture made it more valuable than it already was.

My sister and I went backpacking in Arches National Park over the summer. In some panic ridden state, we woke up and barely caught the sunrise.

Starting our dirt road trek through Utah we came across what looked like strategically placed boulders scattered across at the feet of this mesa. Over time the weather peeled apart this Mesa releasing giant boulders running down its side. But the mind blowing aspect is how these boulders are able to stand on sediment mounds and balance as such.

I was coming back from a road trip to Las Vegas with some friends and we decided to stop at a viewing area. This is the view that we were greeted with.

We saw this little canyon from the car and walked up to explore. It was simply amazing. It didn’t go too far back, but far enough that it was pretty isolated from the main canyon where the road was. As I was walking out I saw the treeless branches against the fall color and knew I had to capture it with the reflected light of the rocks. Southern Utah is one of the most fascinating places on the planet. I return every year.

The Corona Arch is just outside of Arches National Park in Utah and is a pretty easy hike back to see it and the Bow Tie Arch. The whole area is pretty amazing.

We drove out to Moab from SLC and needed to get out on the trails immediately. The legendary Slickrock trail just on the outskirts of Moab was the most logical choice. It was a great day to be out with low flying clouds and azure sky.

While hiking through Arches National Park in Utah we were looking to gain a new perspective of the landscape and before we knew it we were standing on this lookout admiring an endless maze of sandstone.

After a long morning of exploring Arches National Park in Utah, my good friend asked me to take pictures of him as he boarded down the road. After doing so, I looked back and couldn’t help but get caught up in the beauty of what we were surrounded by. I laid down on the cool pavement and tried to capture the majestic scenery combined with the presence of man all in beautiful unity.

Stumbled upon this abandoned scenic turnout while on my way to Arches. Castle Gate was once the first coal mine in Utah and produced high quality coal for steam trains. Dismantled in 1924, it’s now not more than a ghost town. Coincidentally, a train was on it’s way up to the northern direction.
