Southern Utah in August
I've really got to think these things thru more carefully. It always seems such a great plan on paper, but wow it really gets hot in Southern Utah in August, at least at night it’s not 100 degrees, it’s a nice cool 90 degrees. Actually weather aside it was a wonderful trip — so much to see and so little time. Trapped by flash floods in Capital Reef National Park, it's one way to beat the crowds for a few days, actually had some pretty interesting conversations with myself after about a day and half. On to Bryce and Zion National Parks then across the state to Arches to fight the crazy tourist for a day and finally up to Canyon Lands National Park for a peaceful few days of great shooting. Nothing like sunrise at Mesa Arch, makes getting up at 4am in the morning to hike in the blackness of predawn with a heavy backpack all worthwhile, and you can still make it back to Moab for a late breakfast that doesn't come dry in a bag.
