This workshop has been one of our most popular over the years, but we have made  it even better. We will start the workshop at the Grand Canyon for a sunrise and then proceed on to Page and Antelope Canyon, the most famous of the Southwest's slots.  We will also spend two full days at Monument Valley and plan to go to Hunt’s Mesa  (if possible) for a sunset.

Northern Arizona’s share of the colorful Colorado Plateau graces us with arches, pinnacles, canyons (both vastly wide and precariously narrow), and swirls of multihued rock that evidence millions of years of the earth’s evolution. Our base of operations will move from Grand Canyon to exciting Page, Arizona, then to spectacular Monument Valley and ending in the red rocks of the Sedona area. While in the Page area, we will visit Antelope Canyon (weather permitting -- and it is very rare for the weather to be a problem in April), slot canyons so narrow that the midday sun shines in and creates a vibrant light show on the Navajo sandstone walls. The warm morning and evening light creates a dramatic effect on the pink, red and orange rocks around Lake Powell and throughout area. We will then proceed to Monument Valley, for two days of sunset and a sunrise shoots with a local photo guide, exploring the huge red buttes that have been a backdrop for so many of the old classic western movies. Next we will head south to Oak Creek Canyon and Sedona, one of the most stimulating red rock areas. A good portion of one day will be spent along the West Fork of Oak Creek, an area that mimics the rocky streams of Zion National Park. Evening and morning destinations will include exuberantly glowing red rock cliffs and formations that seem to have been created simply to stir the creative juices in nature photographers.
