We will visit at least three world class locations for photography in Utah's Canyonlands. I have traveled extensively in search of amazing photographic locations, and it is hard to beat Dead Horse Point and the Islands in the Sky district of Canyonlands National Park. I will show you great locations, and make suggestions on composition and subject matter. I can even help you with your camera settings if you are a beginner.

Options to extend the tour to a full day (to include Arches National Park).

Note: There is a 2 person minimum for all 1/2 day tours. If you wish to book and you are solo, contact me with your availability and I will attempt to pair you with others.

Note: I have room for 4 passengers + gear comfortably in my vehicle, so I can only drive the first 4 people who book this tour. Others need to drive their own vehicle and follow. I can meet you at any hotel or campground in Moab (not Castle Valley), or at the Moab Visitor Center on Main St.
