Just a couple long exposures with some star trails taken in Bryce Canyon NP…

Well, I’m getting this video finished up just in time to keep the schedule of sharing a video the first Sunday of each month… this round is another set of timelapse highlights from travels in Washington, California, and Utah. If you’re interested, check out some…
On another recommendation from my friend Dawn (the same Dawn that suggested the Rattlesnake Canyon), I made a stop in Black Dragon Canyon to camp outside of Moab, UT for a night and to find the pictographs and petroglyphs there. Pictographs are paintings on stone…
Zion National Park is most famous for its canyon that has been carved by the Virgin River, so without any further ado…
When I went to share this post, I tried to look up the name of this arch… and from what I can tell, its name is “Natural Bridge”. The reason I say that is I can’t find any other name for it, but I did…
There’s just something about these couple fleeting shots I managed of this White-crowned Sparrow in the Red Cliffs National Conservation Area outside of St. George, UT…

Hoodoos are pillars of rock formed by erosion – basically a harder type of rock is at the top and keeps the softer rock from underneath from eroding at the same rate as the surrounding rock. In the case of Bryce Canyon National Park, there…

I’ve always wanted to fly in a helicopter, so while I was at Zion National Park, I decided to take a helo tour around the park. I took some videos too that I’ll have to share at some point as well.
At least this is what I assume they are referring to when they call parts of canyons a “reef”…
Petroglyphs are rock carvings made by removing a top layer of rock to reveal a different colored rock color below. Capitol Reef has a number of petroglyphs left here by earlier inhabitants of the area (and then subsequently vandalized by more recent inhabitants). I’m not…
