Near the Utah and Arizona borders a few years back.

Leaving Monument Valley I stopped along the road and set up a camera, it was a nice warm spring evening and even thu I should have been looking for a camp site i spent a good 45 minutes trying to take long exposures as locals and a few tourists drove by likely wondering what I was doing. This was the best of the lot.

Southern Utah in August!Posted: 08/18/07

Mesa Arch, Canyon Lands National Park, Utah, USA

I’ve really got to think these things thru more carefully. It always seems such a great plan on paper, but wow it really gets hot in Southern Utah in August, at least at night it’s not 100 degrees, it’s a nice cool 90 degrees. Actually weather aside it was a wonderful trip — so much to see and so little time. Trapped by flash floods in Capital Reef National Park, it’s one way to beat the crowds for a few days, actually had some pretty interesting conversations with myself after about a day and half. On to Bryce and Zion National Parks then across the state to Arches to fight the crazy tourist for a day and finally up to Canyon Lands National Park for a peaceful few days of great shooting. Nothing like sunrise at Mesa Arch, makes getting up at 4am in the morning to hike in the blackness of predawn with a heavy backpack all worthwhile, and you can still make it back to Moab for a late breakfast that doesn’t come dry in a bag.
