Horseshoe Bend
About 2 or 3 miles south of Page Arizona is this meander of the Colorado river called the Horseshoe Bend Overlook. Its about a 3/4 mile hike in from the highway but it’s an absolutely incredible view.
Humorously while there, i met some german kids who thought the overlook was pretty cool, but that they were really excited to get into to town to see their first wal-mart, their idea of the quintessential american experience.
Antelope Canyon Sandfall
Antelope Canyon is one of those places you have seen a million times in photographs, every landscape photographer has a photo of this place. However once you get in there, no matter how jaded you are, it is absolutely breathtaking. It is such a complex space that, as a photographer, you spend the first 15 minutes not knowing where to start there are so many possible shots.
I went on one of the photographer tours, which while a bit more expensive than the other tours it was great as it was quite a bit longer and best of all they cleared the canyon of all other visitors so that we could get the shots we wanted.
Hole In the Rock
Got back not long ago from a trip through Arizona and Utah. I’ll be posting shots from the trip here over the next couple of weeks.
This is Hole ‘n The Rock just outside of Moab in Utah. It was carved over the course of several decades by its owner Albert Christensen. He blasted holes in the face of the giant rock and slowly chiseled out a home inside. it is quite a large house, with a gift shop in the front. He was an amateur taxidermist and there are several examples of some of the worst taxidermy you will have ever seen as well as a carved memorial to Franklin Roosevelt. All in all a great diversion on the way in into moab.
