San Rafael Swell
Posted: October 27, 2022
 

We did not have enough time during our May 2021 visit to Hanksville to take the drive up to the San Rafael Swell. I was determined not to miss it this time. Very nice area!

Well why not catch another sunrise at good old Factory Butte? After that, we visited the Mars Research area.

The photo above just might have risen to my top of all time list!

One of my objectives was to photograph at the Skyline Overlook area near sundown to catch some shadows of the formations visible from that vantage point.

I had the idea of a sunset sand dunes shoot so we headed up Highway 24 to the area I had seen sand dunes on our way down to Hanksville.

Highway 95
Posted: October 24, 2022
 

We had not taken Highway 95 south from Hanksville on our May 2021 visit to the area. As we had more time in the area, we took this today to see what there was to offer in the way of photography.

Capital Valley
Posted: May 21, 2019
 
Since the weather had been so funky on my first drive through the La Sal Mountains, I decided to redo the second half of the drive to try to capture some better photos looking down into Capital Valley.

I had planned to stay in the Moab area at least another couple of days but when I woke up Wednesday and looked out the window, I decided to leave Moab and head on to Driggs.

La Sal Mountains
Posted: May 19, 2019
 
Today I drove the La Sal Mountain Loop Road. I had not done that loop since the time I visited Moab with Don McIntosh and Vinnie many years ago. The weather was not overly conducive to top notch photography but you works with what you got!

Highway 128
Posted: May 18, 2019
 
This was the first time that I had driven the whole of Highway 128. I started at the north end of Highway 128 at Interstate 70. It follows the Colorado River and tees into Utah Highway 191 at Moab.

Highway 128
Posted: September 03, 2018
 
On my last visit to the Moab area in 2016, I discovered Highway 128. It follows the Colorado River and is very scenic. Rick Schuessler and I took this drive as sunset was approaching in order to catch some nice light.

If you ever visit Moab, I would classify this drive as a MUST DO.

Dead Horse Point State Park
Posted: September 03, 2018
 
This area is one of my favorites when I visit the Moab area. This can be combined with a visit to Canyonlands National Park.

The overlook pictured above is very, very scenic.

After Devils Garden we decided to take a scenic drive from Escalante to Boulder Utah. I think Highway 12 is one of the most scenic drives I have ever been on.

This drive was quite a pleasant surprise. There was some very nice scenery along the road.

I photographed along Red Canyon UT on May 26.

Red Canyon is on Utah Highway 12 on the way to Bryce Canyon National Park. It is a very stunning drive that include a short tunnel.

I spent quite a bit of time there working the various features for nice compositions.
