Rain, Fog, Clouds and a Photo Tip from Zion National Park.
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.
The Amazing Horseshoe Bend
The Colorado River carved a bend in the Navajo Sandstone on its way to the Grand Canyon in Northern Arizona.
A Rainy And Foggy Day During Colorado’s Autumn
I almost stayed home because of the rain but remembered that rain and fog can produce some promising images. I ran into rain, snow and fog at Grand Mesa National Forest. Grand Mesa is the largest flat-top mountain in the world near Grand Junction.
Snow,Snow And More Snow
Although Friday was the first full day of spring, I took a drive to the upper reaches of Zion National Park where most people don’t go. I figured there would be some fresh snow and I wasn’t disappointed.

On The Edge Of The Grand Canyon
My friend and fellow blogger, Ali Erdmann, visited the Grand Canyon for the first time recently and was overwhelmed. However, it didn’t take her long to embrace the canyon and venture to its edge. Thankfully she is an experienced rock climber and yoga practitioner. These images were shot from the North Rim at Grand Canyon National Park.
The Zion Mt. Carmel Tunnel
The tunnel was built in 1930 and is 1.1 miles long. On the day the tunnel was dedicated, all 48 governors of the United States were in attendance (There were only 48 states at the time). Getting all the governors to agree on anything will probably never happen again. I’ve seen just about any type of vehicle travel through it but the other day this motorcycle got my attention. Not sure who was driving !

The Upper Muley Twist Trail!
Based on a tip from a good friend, we tackled this trail last week at Utah’s Capitol Reef National Park. A hidden gem, this trek is located in the southern end of the park. Not many people frequent this trail that winds it way through washes and up and onto Capitol Reef’s Waterpocket Fold. We saw numerous arches, unusual sandstone formations and signs of springtime flora. This 9 mile loop trail included third class climbing to the rim view of Capitol Reef’s Waterpocket Fold.
