    Canyonlands is on my list of places to visit in the next few years (hopefully next fall or spring!). Lovely, surreal photos.

      You must and it’s really not that far….less than 2 hours from Grand Junction, which is about 4 from Denver. And talk about a gorgeous drive!!!

    Such awe inspiring scenery, and you captured it beautifully, Ingrid. We’re making our way west now, and are regretfully leaving the Gulf coast behind, but it’s nice to know we’re headed back into a different, but equally wonderful landscape. Thank you for the reminder. 🙂

      Isn’t the diversity fun? I now have a list of places I hope to return to time and again. Utah for landscape photography and the Gulf Coast for birding 🙂

          Ah, then you’ve most likely traveled the ‘loneliest Hwy in the America’ Hwy 50 through NV. My brother and his wife have a great little trailer that he pulls with a F150 that they love. Lots of cute ones out there.

    Great shot of that giant ditch. I really enjoyed Canyonlands but didn’t see the middle shots so assume they may be the Needles area.

      Nope, all photos were taken at Island in the Sky. You just needed a little walking to get to the rim to view. Had to laugh at your ‘ditch’ comment…..that’s what my hubby refers to the Grand Canyon as “a big ditch” LOL.
