While driving through Zion NP the other day, rain clouds and fog persisted. Which always gives Zion a more ghostly and sublime look.

Photo Tip: All of these images were produced with my Apple iPhone 14 Pro. Go to settings in the phone so you can select the ability to shoot in RAW format. The RAW format button will show on your screen and you just click on it to shoot in RAW. RAW images have more pixels allowing you to make larger photos at higher resolutions. You can also make bigger shifts while editing the photo without producing unwanted noise or pixelation. I only shoot in RAW if I know I have a really good photo opp.

This big West Coast storm was forecasted to hit Northern Arizona as well with snow forecasted. On the first day, the weather was too warm for snow but it did rain and I was able to capture these images. As a heads up, it did snow today and more is forecasted for tomorrow so stay tuned.

Possibly The Most Spectacular State Park

Desert Southwest, National Parks, Utah, video, Weather

Dead Horse Point State Park near Moab, Utah, is adjacent to Canyonlands National Park and is every bit as amazing. You do see a lot of Canyonlands from Dead Horse Point so they kind of operate together. The Colorado River winds its way through both parks and is mostly responsible for their rugged look.

Legend has it that Dead Horse Point received its name because cowboys would round up wild horses into a natural corral here as the point narrows down to some 30 yards at the end.

Dead Horse Point is also renowned as the location where the last scene in “Thelma and Louise” was filmed. If you come to visit nearby Arches National Park and Canyonlands, you should definitely stop by Dead Horse Point.

Especially when a rainstorm passes through and leaves residual clouds and fog. These images were captured at the Islands In The Sky District near Moab, Utah.

Established in 1964 as a national park, Canyonlands was formed by tectonic shifts, uplifts, volcanic activity and the erosive force of the Colorado River.
