  • This was taken near the end of the slot section of the canyon. The lighting was finally starting to warm up thanks to reflected late afternoon light. I was drawn to the swirls in the sandstone on the right portion of the canyon. Little Wild Horse Canyon, San Rafael Swell, Central Utah
  • Along the walls of Crack Canyon there were numerous depressions, so large enough they had their own depressions. Small arches had formed throughout. Tim had climbed up on one portion and found this and thought it looked interesting. I love the borrowed light being reflected from the upper canyon walls. Cracky Canyon, San Rafael Swell, Utah.
  • If you look at the bottom part of this picture along the curvature of the rock, you can see the many markings left by hikers shoes. Little Wild Horse Canyon, San Rafael Swell, Central Utah

  • Little Wild Horse Canyon, San Rafael Swell, Central Utah. You get a sense of the enormity of this canyon with this shot; I also like the hard transition in the rock.
  • This was probably the best section of Crack Canyon. This tunnel is reminscent of the subway in Zion (yet much less scenic).
  • Little Wild Horse Canyon, San Rafael Swell, Central Utah. This was a situation I was hoping for, getting reflected light on one side of the canyon with cool shadowed lighting on the other side. No photoshop tricks, just snapped the pic and did some levels and curves.

  • This section of LIttle Wild Horse Canyon is towards the end of the hike. The canyon opened up to a much larger creek bed and the light was bouncing off the canyons walls above. This lead to a nice glow on the rocks in the foreground of this frame and gave a good foreground to the backdrop of the creek bed and canyon wall in the shade.
