I had an opportunity to travel to Zion National Park in late October and photograph some of the iconic features of the park. The highlight of a visit to Zion for many people is the hike into “The Narrows”, a walk in, and along, the Virgin river as is runs through a slot canyon. It’s exciting and great fun to photograph here.

Zion also features a lot of slickrock which can be very graphic and dramatic to capture in an image. You just have to be aware of the angle of light to get the best definition in the rock.

If you are fortunate enough, you can spot Bighorn sheep in the slickrock area of the park.

Probably the most popular photo spot in Zion is the sunset view of the rock formation called “The Watchman”. The light on its face as the sun sets is beautiful.
