The Southwest is one of my favorite location to visit and photograph. Southern Utah scenery ranks as one of my most favorite areas. If I can add some hiking or overlonding to get to a more remote area to capture that special location, then I have definite interest.

The lower falls requires you to wade in water and work through some broken tree limbs, but it could allow ou to capture four falls.
Along the trail up to the Rim Overlook was this spur nestled about with Utah Juniper that point upward to a butte in the distance. I took this photo because I noticed that the junipers provided a gap between the suggesting a path that lead upwards to the overlook peak that I was hiking to. I also like the dark stones in the front right corner that act to balance the picture with the clouds peaking on the left.
While hiking the Rim Overlook trail I noticed that at a certain elevation close to the overlook area you could see Mt Pennell in the far ground unobstructed by the Capital Reef terrain. This is perhaps the photo I like the best from my trip to Southern Utah. I like how you are lead in the photo to mountain in the far ground. What I don't like is that balance is a bit weighted to the left. This shot was taken from a hand held position while hiking.
While hiking the Rim Overlook and Navajo Knobs trail this view materialized. Capital Doom is to the right and Mount Pennell is in the background.
A pinnacle stands as a sentinel to hikers that the Wahweap Hoodoos are just ahead. Hoodoos are noticeable in the distance along the cliff.
