Day 5 – Canyonlands and Capitol Reef
Before I comment about today I would like to mention that a storm rolled in over Canyonlands yesterday which enabled me to get some interesting shots. I actually enjoy stormy looking skies as it creates a lot more dramatic photos then a blue sky without anything in it. Also I mentioned I had planned on…

Day 4 – Moab, Utah
It’s one of those days. I had a plan to photograph the potash lakes south of Canyon Lands and take the Shafer’s trail up into the park. I woke up at the rest stop where I had not slept too well. I headed into Moab and followed the GPS to Potash Road. I must say…

Day 3 – Canyon De Chelly
The west never seems to stop amazing me. Last year’s trip which included a brief stint in Monument Valley let me see the grand scale of the west and impressed me to the point I wanted to focus this year’s trip in the desert Areas of Utah and Arizona. I am not disappointed with Canyon…

Day 1 & 2 – On the Road Again
The hardest part about photographing out west is the long trip to get there. This blog is actually for the last two days. I left Cookeville about 3:30 Friday afternoon and got caught in both Labor Day Weekend Traffic then a bottleneck from an accident after getting through Nashville. I recommend anyone going on a…

Day 17 – Sioux Falls to Cookeville
Well this was the last day of my trip. I am writing in past tense because it was a month ago now. Some people said they would like me to finish the blog of the trip. I decided to do it this evening (October 18) because I will be posting photos of the trip tonight. …

Day 16 – A Long Drive
I awoke to an overlook of Billings, Montana. I proceeded to drive down into town and stopped at Hardee’s for Breakfast and a Bathroom Break. I used to love Hardee’s but recently I am noticing the food is mostly just grease and salt. I ended up not eating all I ordered just because it really…

Day 15 (Part 2) – Starting the Trip Home
Well I am writing this now after already being home a day. But I wanted to go ahead and finish up the blog so here goes. I left Canada and it was just too foggy, rainy, and generally wet to try to photograph anymore in Glacier National Park. Just before leaving Waterton it had gotten…

Day 15 – Glacier National Park to Canada
I got up around 8 in the morning. It will be hard to photograph here today, the clouds are low so no grand vistas and its raining just a bit too much to go looking for wildlife. I think I will go to Canada, if the weather isn’t better up there I will just…

Day 14 – Glacier National Park
Well today is the day I make it to Glacier National Park. I was pretty tired from my travels and had considered not coming to here. I know a lot of people who have been out west who don’t make it to Glacier because its a lot further out of the way then most are…

Day 13 – Yellowstone to Glacier
Good morning from Livingston, Montana. I slept just outside of Gardiner, Montana on a pull off where some other vehicles were doing the same thing. Today I hope to be in Glacier National Park at some point. My posts have been intermittent due to lack of wifi available. In Yellowstone cell service was nearly non-existent. …
