Many of you have probably hiked up to Cassidy Arch in Capital Reef - very nice easy route, with a touch of slick rock scrambling near the end. If you were lucky you might have seen people taking off on the 8 rappel canyoneering route that starts behind the arch with a spectacular full rope...

While I was on my trip I knew I was going to have two full days with no clouds. So I drove to the needles part of Canyonlands and on my way I saw this amazing display! CC welcome

From last week, I made an early run from Moab up to Mesa Arch. It had snowed during the night so it was fun to hike in over the virgin snow with no foot prints but mine. There ended up being maybe 6 people there total, which worked out nicely and everyone cooperated well. I went to pull back on...

I got this panorama the first year my wife and I retired after 35 years of teaching. We had been waiting until then to get down to southern Utah in the fall and finally made it for a month long trip in our van. We arrived at the Needles district in the afternoon and were lucky to find a...

La Sal Mountains in the distance

One from over in the Green River overlook area with Craig, we had been out exploring and came across this a little ways away from the overview itself. I liked out the cutout in the foreground shelf lead to the sun. There were no clouds on this day so it was about working the sun as it set. All...

This is from Factory Butte which is located not far from Canyonlands. It was a fun morning to be there, no one was around except for a few cows wandering around. All comments are welcome, Jim

Going to Mesa Arch when it's off season is a much more enjoyable experience, especially when it's winter with snow and cold. The sunrise wasn't anything special, and although it wasn't crowded by Mesa Arch standards, there were still about 12 to 15 people there. After the no show sunrise because...

Mesa Arch at sunrise after a fresh snow in Canyonlands National Park

I made a one night trip to Moab at the end of 2015 to maintain my frequent flyer status for the year (yeah, that was my excuse) and managed to catch some fresh snow at Mesa Arch for sunrise. I've posted a version of this elsewhere before, but I managed to recover some extra space on the right...

On my return home from visiting Mom, in Dec '15, I managed to finally make it to Moab, UT. Craig Carr was kind enough to meet and take me to a couple famous places. It's an awesome area, and I only made a dent, so a return is definitely planned, possibly this winter. While at Dead Horse Point...
