About halfway between Kanab and Mt. Carmel Junction, Utah- and the mouth of Zion Canyon to its west- is a turnoff south for Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park. From this drive, the view northwest features the elevated sandstone formations that comprise the region around Zion National Park.

Road Trip: Photography, Utah – Navajo Bridge over Marble Canyon
by Bruce • March 15, 2022 • Roadies • 0 Comments
First built in 1929, the first bridge on this site, initially called Grand Canyon Bridge (and renamed Navajo Bridge five years later), was constructed to replace passage across the Colorado River and Marble Canyon by ferry. In 1873, at a location 5 miles north of the bridges, a landing called Lees Ferry had been...

Road Trip: Photography, Utah – Petrified Forest National Park
by Bruce • March 12, 2022 • Roadies • 0 Comments
I left mid-morning on Wednesday, March 2, and headed west on I-40. While the ultimate destination of the trip was Kanab, Utah, I planned to get there in two days, and make a few stops on the way. By a stroke of blind foresight last year, I had purchased a National Parks Annual Access...

by Bruce • March 11, 2022 • Roadies • 0 Comments
I thought I would take some time tonight to figure out roughly how many miles I put on the truck with this trip. I wanted to do this in part because I am nearing the 200,000 mile mark with my truck (I’m about 600 miles short), and I wanted to see about where I...

For Christmas this year, my family generously pooled funds and bought me a ticket to attend the Outsiders Photography Conference that would be held March 4th through 6th in Kanab, Utah. Time marched forward, and prior to the conference weekend, I put a request in at work to take off some extra days around...

by Bruce • February 12, 2022 • Roadies • 0 Comments
I’ve been dealing with some physical issues this week, and so this morning, after a very slow start to the day, I decided I needed to get out for the afternoon. For some reason, my mind jumped immediately to revisiting the Hoodoo Trail in the Ojita Wilderness. Several years ago, I parked at the...

I needed to get out today, so about noon I got my stuff all in the truck and headed for NM-14. Why NM-14? I have no idea. My original plan was to end up at Santa Cruz Lake by Nambe at dusk, and I guess NM-14 was a more interesting way to get there....

by Bruce • December 7, 2021 • Roadies • 0 Comments
I had pondered it for a few months, but in the end, it was an impulse that launched me west from Albuquerque towards Gallup, New Mexico. Seeing recent photos taken by others of hot air balloons lingering over red rock walls gave me the shove I needed to hit the road Saturday morning. After...

by Bruce • August 13, 2021 • Roadies • 1 Comment
Last weekend I joined my parents on a short trip they had both been looking forward to taking for some time. Before COVID-19 hit, they were planning to return to Monument Valley for a stay- and then the world shut down for a year and some. In recent weeks, the Navajo Nation and its...

Last weekend, the two most important events of the weekend occurred at my folk’s house, because my father turned 80, and my sister, her family, and I spent time twice visiting with him and my mom. I am so grateful I have my folks nearby to spend time with. Dad was born 144 days...
