HIGHLIGHTS
- Explore the stunning Zion Canyon and hoodoo rock formations of Zion and Bryce National Parks
- Experience the natural beauty of Southern Utah through your lens during the brilliant fall colors or springtime greens
- Designed by experienced guides who have been hiking and photographing in Southern Utah for over a decade
- Small group sizes, with an excellent client-to-guide ratio
- Option to choose between standard and "Hiker" version of the trip depending on your hiking preference
Are you ready to embark on a journey through the heart of canyon country and capture its beauty through your lens? Join us on our Canyons of Utah: Zion & Bryce photo workshop and experience the vibrant colors and picture perfect landscapes of Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks like never before.
Our knowledgeable guides have been exploring Southern Utah for over a decade and have designed a carefully curated itinerary that will take you to some of the most spectacular rock formations in the region. We'll visit the delicate and colorful canyons of Zion National Park and explore Bryce Canyon's unique and otherworldly hoodoo formations. Both parks are equally spectacular, but vastly different in their geology.
Depending on the season you join us in, we'll time the trip to coincide with the brilliant autumn foliage change within Zion Canyon in the fall or the lush spring greens of springtime.
This landscape photography-oriented trip is perfect for those who want to capture iconic and stunning views of Southern Utah. You'll have plenty of opportunities to hone your photography skills and capture breathtaking shots of the rugged and stunning scenery. After long days in the field, you'll retreat to our comfortable lodges near Zion Canyon and on the rim of Bryce.
Please note that we offer both a standard and "Hiker" version of this trip for photographers who like to get out and hike. Not sure which one is right for you? Give us a call at 928-478-1521 and we'll help you choose the best option. Join us on this unforgettable journey and discover the magic of Utah's canyon country through your lens.
