Join our five-day photography workshop in magnificent Zion National Park, the
first national park in Utah, designated in 1919. It is also one of the most oft-visited
parks in Utah.
There are four parts to the park, and we will visit at least two of them, Zion Canyon, carved out by the Virgin River, and the the lesser known Kolob Canyons. This is an area that has been inhabited by man for over 12,000 years, and there are petroglyphs and pictographs that tell some of the ancient stories.
In Zion National park, there are cliffs that tower above the Virgin river, Cottonwoods and Scrub Oak that line its banks, water that seeps out of rocks and creates a bank of dripping water, and of course, slot canyons. This is a new workshop on our roster, and we look forward to showing you some great locations, such as Weeping Rock, Emerald Pools, the Virgin River and its reflections of tall, sandstone cliffs, etc.
One day, we will also visit Bryce Canyon National Park , with its pink, drip-castle-like formations. It is not far from Zion, and it is a must-see, as it looks like no other park on earth. The rock formations are fantastical, and the patterns you see are challenging to isolate.
You'll be able
to celebrate your passion for photography, hone your seeing and imaging skills,
and learn about the magic of light to make wonderful photographs.
