Picture this: you are standing at the edge of Bryce Canyon at sunrise, the crisp desert air carrying the scent of pine and the soft rustle of the wind, while the hoodoos ignite in fiery hues of orange and red.

You’ll feel the crunch of the earth beneath your boots as we hike to secret spots, away from the crowds, where the silence is broken only by the soft whisper of the wind.

Feel the smooth, weathered sandstone under your fingertips in Arches National Park as you capture a perfectly composed shot of Delicate Arch with the La Sal Mountains in the background.

The earthy scent of juniper and sage surrounds you as we traverse Canyonlands, where the vastness of the canyons fills you with a deep sense of awe and connection to nature, leaving you humbled and inspired.

And at Dead Horse Point, the golden light of sunset will flood the landscape with warmth, illuminating the curves of the Colorado River far below and leaving you awestruck and deeply inspired. Each moment is a blend of joy, peace, and exhilaration—a reminder of how powerful and beautiful the world truly is.

Step into a photographer’s paradise with my 2025 Bryce, Arches & Beyond: A Southern Utah Photo Odyssey.

With just 8 photographers, you’ll have personalized guidance to help you elevate your skills, no matter your experience level or equipment.

Bryce Canyon National Park offers a feast for the eyes and the lens. It’s a series of natural amphitheaters filled with surreal hoodoos—towering rock formations sculpted by frost and water over millennia. At elevations of 8,000–9,000 feet, Bryce delivers a unique perspective, with its brilliant red, orange, and white hues glowing in the changing light of sunrise and sunset. You’ll learn how to capture the interplay of colors and shadows for stunning, print-worthy images.

From Bryce, our journey takes us to the mesmerizing sandstone formations of Arches National Park, home to over 2,000 natural stone arches and dramatic balanced rocks. With millions of years of geological history etched into its landscape, this park provides endless opportunities to master composition, scale, and texture in your photography.

At Canyonlands National Park, the rugged beauty of deep canyons, towering mesas, and winding rivers awaits. Here, you’ll unlock the secrets of storytelling in landscape photography, as the Colorado River reveals layers of Earth’s history carved into the rock.

Finally, we’ll stand at the breathtaking overlook of Dead Horse Point State Park, where the Colorado River snakes through the landscape in a sweeping panorama. At an altitude of 5,900 feet, this vantage point offers unparalleled views, perfect for capturing the expansive beauty of the Southwest.
