  • Early morning sunlight lights up the cliffs in Canyonlands National Park. This view is from Dead Horse Point, looking south into the canyon formed by the Colorado River 2000 feet below. The juniper tree in the foreground is a tough plant that survives the dry heat and cold of the desert. It can take decades for it to grow to even this small size.<br />

    Canyonlands Vista
  • Thousands of stars forming the milky way galaxy are seen above a deep canyon in Utah. The Colorado River flows 2000 feet below the rim of Dead Horse Point into Canyonlands National Park. The bright light on the horizon is the planet Venus. There is no other object in the night sky brighter than Venus except for the moon. The clear weather, dry air, and dark skies make this area one of the best in the country for stargazing.<br />

    Dark Chasm
  • The two brightest objects in the night sky appear side by side in front of the milky way in a rare alignment. Venus is the blue object, and the yellow object is the moon. Even though the moon was only an 8% crescent, it was brighter than Venus. The band of yellow along the horizon is from the last colors of twilight before it was completely dark. This incredible sky is framed over the Colorado River in Utah. The 2000 foot deep canyon is part of Canyonlands National Park. But this view was actually shot from the edge of a cliff at Dead Horse Point State Park.<br />

    Canyon Alignment
  • This scenic view is often mistaken for the Grand Canyon. It is actually Dead Horse Point State Park in Utah. It is the same Colorado River that carved this 2000 feet deep canyon that flows into Canyonlands National Park. As I stood on the edge of this cliff, I wondered how much of a push it would take to dislodge this boulder. It was perched right on the edge of a sheer 500+ foot drop.<br />
