This night featured some pretty great light, but the real stars of the show were all of the layers in this rock pinnacle. The texture and different shades of orange really stood out against the evening sky.

Kolob Terrace Sunset
It took some scouting, scrambling and a short sprint to get here in time for sunset. It wasn’t far off the road in the Kolob Terrace area of Zion, but it also wasn’t directly accessible. When a sunset calls sometimes I have to make a run for it!
It’s Hard to Keep Driving
It’s hard to keep driving when all the roads look like this. The natural beauty of Zion is amazing, and the narrow strips of road that run through it get you where you need to go while providing a contrasting perspective.
Zion Isn’t Just for Rocks
It’s also for waterfalls! A short hike and a steady tripod was all that it took to get a shot of this little waterfall.
Rock Pocket
The Narrows in Zion is great place for a hike through the cold water. During a flood the rocks are lifted up and pushed into unique little pockets carved out of the wall. It almost looks like someone has carefully selected and stored each individual rock there.
Zion for Days
I was heading to another spot for sunset when I saw this landscape and had to stop. The hours before the sun goes down can be just as picturesque as the sunset itself when you are surrounded by crazy rock formations such as these.
Moving Up The Narrows
Hiking up The Narrows in Zion requires getting wet. I’m normally looking for any excuse to get in the water with a tripod to get a shot of water like this flowing by, but for this hike it was required instead of optional.
Sunset at Virgin River
Zion has many amazing spots, and this place is no exception. The bridge over the river provides the perfect viewpoint to take in the sunset and see all the dramatic beauty that Zion has to offer.
Clouds Over Valley
I thought the climb to the top of Angel’s Landing would be the highlight of the day, but when we got back down to the start of the trail there was another great view to admire. Little puffy clouds spread out perfectly above the valley below and we were right in the middle of all of it.
