You've read all the exciting adventures in Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks (and if you haven't, you should really check them out right here!), so it's time for the next chronicle of the year: Norway!  As you know, we travel quite a bit, and it recently dawned on us…

Biweekly Wow: Sunset Point

Brianna Shade
We visited both Sunrise Point and Sunset Point in Bryce Canyon National Park, and we found they really aren't very different.  Spaced just a half mile apart, you can get the same views from both.  However, Sunrise gives more of the valley floor and the northern distance, while Sunset focuses…

The ground is dry; the foliage is a brilliant, verdant green; and the sun is finally winning its annual battle with the clouds.  With the fresh air calling, it's the perfect time to climb waterfalls. (more…)

Biweekly Wow: Sunrise Point

I am quickly finding that most of Bryce is a Weekly Wow.  After all, how many places in the world have these unlikely geological features?  The colors - the rich red of the rocks, the deep green of the trees, the vibrant blue of the morning sky - all accentuated…

Biweekly Wow: Bryce Canyon’s Fire & Ice

April 19, 2018April 18, 2018 by Brianna Shade

About two months later, and we're finally to Part II of our little trip to Bryce and Zion National Parks.  Much like Yosemite, we ventured out to these parks in late winter not only to avoid crowds but also in the hopes of finding snow.  We were pretty disappointed in…

Weekly Wow: Atop Angels Landing

March 15, 2018April 29, 2018 by Brianna Shade

After such a rainy start to our trip to Zion National Park, we didn't expect the sky to clear out so beautifully.  And when it did, we further didn't expect it to invite a few elite clouds back into the scene to perfectly diffuse the harsh sun at just the…

Weekly Wow: Zion’s Watchman

March 1, 2018March 18, 2018 by Brianna Shade
Brianna Shade
A visit to Zion National Park often comes with seeking out the iconic shot of The Watchman.  Generally viewed from atop the Canyon Junction Bridge, I wanted to (excuse the pun) shoot for something different.  I love getting close to my foreground so I can make full use of my…

Weekly Wow: Sunrise

Welcome to my new Weekly Wow!  Wednesday Wow?  Weekly Wednesday Wow?  I'm not sure.  I can't promise these'll be exactly weekly, as I'll have other stories and adventures to share, but as I mentioned before, I wanted an opportunity to focus more on fewer, better photos than spamming you with…
