In the high country of Southern Utah exist acres and acres of forests and pastures. Yesterday was a good day to beat the high heat (100 degrees F) at the lower elevations and garner some good photos from here and at Cedar Breaks National Monument(Pics to follow).
The still waters of Kolob Reservoir and surrounding area in the higher elevations near Zion National Park, Utah.
In the Moab, Utah area, the Colorado River is ubiquitous. And it moves very slowly, unlike down stream at The Grand Canyon. The still waters make for some great photo opps as you’ll see in these images. I’m still on the road to Delicate Arch.
At the upper elevations (8,000 feet) in and around Zion National Park where the aspen trees grow, the leaves have not changed much in color. They are mostly green still. Except for one spot I found Friday where the sun seems to shine all day long at Kolob Reservoir. Images below are of the colorful aspens and sunset along Kolob Terrace in Zion National Park.
Schwabacker’s Landing, just east of Grand Teton National Park at Jackson Hole, is one of those places that produces iconic images of the Grand Tetons. On a still day, the reflections in the beaver ponds are a photographers dream. Add in some clouds and great light, you just hope your batteries don’t go dead. Below are still photos from last week. A companion time lapse video can be seen here – Teton Time Lapse Video
