Fall in Southern Utah is quickly becoming my favorite! Had an incredible afternoon on the left fork of North Creek yesterday, even had the ‘Subway’ to myself for a couple of hours. The cottonwoods and maples turning and dropping their leaves in the stream made for some beautiful foregrounds and backgrounds.

A few more from a trip along Skyline Drive on the Wasatch Plateau, colors were definitely at peak in a lot of locations but especially the closer I got to Fairview Canyon!

Do you have any favorites?

The most fleeting and most beautiful season is here, the air gets crisper, the rain turns to snow in the high country, and for just a couple weeks Mother Nature cranks the saturation slider up to 100%… fall is here and it’s one of my favorites!

Here’s a new one from somewhere on ‘Skyline Drive’ in the Manti-La Sal National Forest. I’ll have a bunch of new images up soon!

‘Clearing Storm at Guardsman Pass’

As I sat in a group of tiny krumholz trees in a whiteout just below the point of a narrow ridge and contemplated the decisions that led me to this point… I was kinda disappointed with myself, and a little afraid.

The weather forecast wasn’t great, I had picked an unfamiliar spot and hiked in the dark/ early twilight to get there so I didn’t have much of an idea of what could happen other than some photos I had seen online. The distant thunder rumbled, the graupel blew sideways, I packed my electronics away to keep them safe from the moisture so I didn’t have my phone to distract me and I decided to try and wait it out.

Then just as I was about to give up and make my way back down the slippery, narrow trail to the saddle in defeat… the sky lightened a bit. The clouds below me opened to reveal a slope covered in golden aspens and soon the ridge before me also popped out of the clouds. The blowing, misty clouds glowed in the early morning sunlight. The scene was incredible and short lived as the clouds moved back in.

A collection from hiking the infamous ‘Narrows’ in Zion National Park. I look forward to checking it out again as we get deeper into autumn and the leaves change… but this was a good scouting trip. It required a lot of patience to get images without people in them, can you find the hiker in the first vertical image?

A quick collection of images from an absolutely incredible sunrise at Coyote Buttes South this past week… an early morning storm system arrived on the Paria Plateau in Vermillion Cliffs National Monument just as I was navigating the winding, sandy, rocky roads to the permit area and lightning flashed to my west in the early twilight. I gathered my gear and shouldered my pack and managed to make it to the edge of the incredible sandstone formations as the sun illuminated the passing storm clouds and spent the next few hours in awe of the combination of landscape and dramatic skies as I wandered around on the slick rock through the teepees, hoodoos, and wave like formations.

'The Vortex'

A sandstone bowl known as 'The Vortex' under a beautiful monsoon sky! I waited out the rain and thunder in a tiny rock overhang to the right of this scene, and as the storms moved on I came out and captured this 9-image panorama.

The storm intensified again producing a lot of cloud to ground lightning and downdrafts so intense they were obscuring the Pine Valley Mountains.

Tonight's post monsoon sunset was a banger! I had never been to this location before in a little traveled part of Zion National Park near Pocket Mesa and was caught wondering around on the slickrock as the clouds parted just before sundown.
