Canyonlands Utah Sunrise
This was one of the last stops on our road trip from Colorado to Arizona and back again through Utah. We ended here at night and woke up to this beautiful scenic landscape.
Canyonlands National Park is located in southeastern Utah near the town of Moab. It preserves a colorful landscape eroded into countless canyons, mesas, and buttes by the Colorado River, the Green River, and their respective tributaries. Legislation creating the park was signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson on September 12, 1964
The park is divided into four districts: the Island in the Sky, the Needles, the Maze, and the rivers themselves. While these areas share a primitive desert atmosphere, each retains its own character. Two large river canyons are carved into the Colorado Plateau by the Colorado River and Green River.
Weird fact: Nineteenth century cowboys corralled wild horses onto today’s Dead Horse Point State Park. Supposedly, one herd left on the point died of thirst.
Scientific fact: Cataract Canyon may be one of the world’s most actively filling canyons. Scientists discovered 260 feet of sediment below the water’s surface.

Arizona Sun
Here is another from our trip to Arizona for the Thanksgiving holiday. I was able to get up in the early morning hours before everyone got up to get this and be back for a full day. It was clear blue skies the whole time we were there so the sky was not spectacular and this is one I came up with. Shooting right into the sun with high f stop makes for a star effect. A scenic landscape view of the Arizona Sonoran desert as the blazing sun rises over the mountains.

Just Another Sonoran Desert Sunrise
Every year we do a road trip from Colorado to Scottsdale Arizona for Thanksgiving. We go to my moms who is getting up there in age and the week is all about spending as much time with her her as possible. We get on her schedule, so getting up before everyone is up to chase a sunrise worked well with “the the early to rise early to bed” way of life.
It was a family vacations so I only got out a couple times to get some images. Here is just another beautiful Sonoran desert sunrise with giant saguaro cactus in north Phoenix / Scottsdale Arizona.
Hope you enjoy and also had a GREAT thanksgiving holiday with your family and friends.
