Winter is the perfect time to visit Arches & Canyonlands National Parks. We値l have incredible scenes all to ourselves, scenes that for most of the year feature a constant parade of other photographers and sight-seers. We値l be there with very few people to disturb our photographic efforts.

Our Group Had Dead Horse Point State Park All To Themselves

Fresh Snow & Red Rocks

The low angle of the sun during the winter will also give us great light for hours every morning and afternoon, rather than a few minutes. And there痴 always the chance that we値l be treated to new snow on the red rocks, or fog, or even frost!
We値l spend five days exploring the best of Arches National Park, the Island In The Sky District of Canyonlands National Park and a few secret locations we like to share with only our participants. On this trip you値l discover that if you致e seen one natural arch you have not seen them all. They are all different, and we値l get to photograph a great many of them. The Windows, Delicate Arch, Devil痴 Garden, Mesa Arch, Grand View Point and Dead Horse Point State Park are just some of the places we値l have to ourselves on this tour.

Delicate Arch Sunset

Double Arch & Sun Star

This is not a region of subtle beauty where a photographer has to search for the right elements to compose a great image. The scenery here is knock-you-socks-off spectacular, and the problem is there are too many good shots vying for attention all at once. The rock formations in this part of the world defy description, and there is literally no end to the photographic possibilities that exist here. And the colors of the rock at sunrise and sunset can put molten metal to shame. We値l help you make sense of the bewildering beauty, and show you how to create the strongest images of the scenes around you.

And the show doesn稚 end when the sun goes down. Weather permitting, we値l try some night shooting. Have you ever wanted to learn how to take star point or star trail photos? Imagine composing images with fantastic rock formations and stars.
