Last weekend I went on a quick day hike through some of the slot canyons south of Escalante Utah in the Coyote Gulch drainage area. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect. We left Cedar City late Friday night and ran into a major snow storm from Parowan to Panguich. In Escalante however, the weather was great. Perfect temperature and lots of clouds, great for landscape photography.
We reached Devil’s Garden at the perfect time Saturday morning, just as the sun was coming up to light the garden for us.
The rest of the day was spent hiking Dry Fork, Spooky, and Peek-A-Boo canyons. All slot canyons with lots of great photo opportunities. I of course packed my strobe, umbrella, and light stand. You never know when you might need to light something up. I got a few great portraits and found an awesome location for an adventurous bride. A little hiking required, but a bridal shot would be fantastic out there. Here is the setup shot courtesy of Ben Grimes.
And the result:
I had a great time and will definitely be going back. You can view my entire slide show of the trip.
