Leah and I made a trip out to Capitol Reef National Park a couple of weekends ago for some camping and hiking. Capitol Reef is beautiful and uncrowded compared to many of the other national parks in Utah. I found myself seeing a lot of panoramic pictures, and I loved all of the contrasting colors of different types of sandstone. I am on my way back to the southern Utah desert today to photograph a wedding in Moab.

Last Sunday Leah and I shared one of our best days in Utah with my sister in law Liz and her boyfriend Dylan. We started the day skiing powder at Snowbird after a 30″ storm, then drove to Moab and made it in time for the sunset. I took this photograph that evening in Arches National Park in The Garden of Eden, and it combines these two landscapes – the dry desert red rocks with the snowy peaks of the La Sals in the background.
