Although the winter of 2016-2017 was one of the wimpiest on record for Minnesota, by the second half of March I had had enough. So I headed off to the summer-like weather of the desert southwest in California, Arizona and Utah. Some of the places I visited were:
- Antelope Canyon
- Arizona Trail
- Bryce Canyon National Park
- Death Valley National Park
- Joshua Tree National Park
- Superstition Wilderness
- Zion National Park
Hint: You may find the best pictures to be those from Antelope Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Death Valley and Zion.
This trip ended up being less adventurous that I had hoped it would be, with the two major backpacking segments converted to dayhikes due to weather-related issues. But just getting out into wild areas is an adventure for me. I will confess that photographing this adventure was generally much harder than I have experienced in other places. So rather than bore you with a large number of ordinary pictures, I published a smaller number of good-but-not-great pictures. My plans for summer and fall anticipate more frame-worthy pictures.
