"After the Storm" - Delicate Arch, Arches National Park. I was disappointed when we first arrived at Delicate Arch, on our first trip. The area was crowded with tourists and really took away from the emotional impact of this place. A storm blew in, so we decide to put on our Gore Tex and hunker down until it passed. The clouds parted just as the sun was about to set and I took one shot! Best of all, the rain had scared away every single person except us!!  |

Back from an incredible week camping in Zion NP. Place is always busy, but we were fortunate to snag our campsites from cancellations - otherwise completely booked campsites. The Narrows was closed due to to record snow melt and raging Virgin River. We hiked the Kamarra Springs Narrows instead, with thigh- high 38 degree frigid rapids. That was an adventure! But the best hike was Angel's Landing. Due to the high volume of tourists, it can only be climbed by permit via the lottery system. This is to avoid the cluster fck line of people lining up for the last ridgeline climb to the summit (like Mt.Everest). Although considered one of the most dangerous hikes in the USA, I found it fun and nonthreatening. We did see several people frozen with fear along the ridge climb. Must have taken a couple thousand pics on our trip (still in my camera). Here are a few iphone shots.....      |

Holy crap, those are amazing pictures from an impressive place.
Thanks for sharing, very inspiring!
I wish I could show something similar from my last year road trip in Norway, which also blew my mind from a scenery perspective.

It's just stunning.
I'd love to do a road trip sometime but hoping to do a cruise around the fjords next year.

"Milky Way Rising Above The Watchman" - Zion National Park
I had to wait until about 3:45am until the Milky Way rose above the mountain range, to get the shot. Long night!
