Parked to camp set up in around 2 minutes 40 seconds. ⛺️

The video runs at 5× speed, but the stopwatch shows the real elapsed time as I get Charlie’s Alu-Cab ModCAP and awning opened up.

Easy setup was a big part of choosing this build. When I arrive somewhere, I want to get settled, grab the camera and make use of the light. Having somewhere to get out of the weather is a welcome bonus.

Thanks to the team at Tiny Rig for helping bring this setup together.

Cook dinner or grab an Off The Farm Meal Bar? The stove was right there, but this evening the meal bar won. 😂

I enjoy cooking at camp, but sometimes I’m happy to keep it simple. No prep, no pans to wash, just unwrap and eat beside Charlie.

Right now, save 20% on Off The Farm bars using my link in bio.

Sad to hear today that the Alien Throne in New Mexico’s Valley of Dreams, near Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah, has reportedly fallen, possibly following the recent storms.

I’m so glad I got to see and photograph this remarkable formation in 2023. Looking back at this sunset, it’s hard to imagine that delicate structure no longer standing.

These badlands can look timeless, but wind, water and weather continue to shape them. I knew this formation wouldn’t stand forever, but it’s still sad to hear it may be gone.

Grateful I made the trip and have this photograph to remember it by.

High up in the Wasatch Mountains, the hillsides were covered in fall color. Reds, oranges, yellows and greens stretched across the slopes, with the mountains rising above them and the valley opening up in the distance.

I sent Carlitos, my drone, up to take in the view, and he captured just how much color there was across the landscape. The darker clouds overhead made those bright trees stand out even more.

A pretty spectacular place to spend a fall day in Utah. 🍁

The colors at Bentonite Hills are incredible, but the light changes how you see every layer.

At sunrise, one side of this formation caught the first warm light, turning the bands orange and gold, while the other remained in shadow, holding those cool blues and muted purples. The same formation, with two very different palettes side by side.

That was what caught my eye from above. As the sun climbed and the shadows shifted, the balance of color kept changing. A few minutes made a real difference to the photograph.

Fall working its way across the Wasatch Mountains. Reds and oranges cover the slopes while some of the aspens are still holding on to their green, all beneath that rugged limestone ridge.

I liked how the narrow trail leads into the trees, giving the eye a route through all that color. With soft light filtering through the clouds, there was plenty to keep me behind the camera.

A winding road through autumn, high above Provo in the Wasatch Mountains.

I sent Carlitos up for a different perspective, and looking straight down revealed this sweep of road surrounded by reds, oranges, yellows and lingering greens. From above, you can see how unevenly the season moves across the hillside, with trees at every stage of the change.

A memorable stretch of our Utah trip, and a good reason to take the back roads. 🍂

Sent Carlitos up for a closer look at the fall colors in Utah’s Wasatch Mountains, and came back with this view. Reds and oranges covering the slopes, pockets of golden yellow, and dark evergreens breaking it all up.

I love how the winding road gives a sense of scale, with low cloud drifting through the valley and the ridges disappearing into the grey sky. Plenty of reasons to take the slow route through these mountains.

Sad news from the Bisti Badlands in New Mexico.

Today I came across a post reporting that the **King of Wings**, one of the most remarkable rock formations I've ever photographed, has collapsed.

I took this photograph in October 2023, when I had the opportunity to explore this extraordinary landscape. I remember being fascinated by the sheer size of that delicate sandstone wing, seemingly defying gravity as it stretched out into the desert sky. With the moon above and the last warm light illuminating the rock, it was a wonderful moment to capture.

These formations have been shaped by millions of years of erosion, and I suppose it was inevitable that one day gravity would win. Still, it's sad to think that something so extraordinary is apparently gone forever.

I'm especially grateful that I made the journey to see it, stood beneath it, and came away with this photograph.

A reminder that even landscapes that seem timeless are constantly changing, and that the places we hope to visit someday may not always be there waiting for us.
