Winter at Bryce Canyon 2010 (click image to view album) It was a long Winter, too. If I have any regrets, it would be that I didn’t get out more for photography. Looking back, however, it seems like many of my days off were spent either: a.) digging myself out or, b.) waiting out another [...]

These are some of the goblins (or hoodoos) to be found at Devil’s Garden. The hardest part, as with the rest of Grand Staircase-Escalante, is getting there. Much of the year the roads can be [...]

Rainbow Point – Bryce Canyon National Park (click image to view larger) Thursday I drove to the south end of Bryce Canyon, first to see how much snow there was, since it is 1000 feet higher in elevation that where I live, but also to see if there were any photo ops to be had. [...]
