Very nice indeed!! Favorites are #10-12 and #6-7. I'll be heading out that way in September for 10 days, can't wait. Are #10-12 of Lake Powell?? We have a kayak trip planned there.

Looks like you had a really great time! I love the expression on your son's face in #2- good capture ! Love #8! It's interesting to see all the boat lights and camp fires in 11. I've never seen it from that view. I think the colors are fantastic!

Good photography, and great parenting clap

#7 is a very interesting image. There is a face that is strangely familiar. The black and white works well here.

Thanks for the comments Stephanie- Yes- 10-14 are of Lake Powell. That is the Alstrom Point overlook of Gunsight Bay.

I will be very interested to see your pics from your September trip. That sounds very cool. I hope to do a houseboat trip at some point on Lake Powell.

Thanks Eia-

Trip did not live up to my expectations as far as weather and shooting opportunities but made up for it with good company and great experiences with my son. I can and will return to improve the photo aspect.

Good catch!

That face reminds me of several movies.

Thanks Doug. Yes- the kids made this trip for sure!

Proud dad on this trip. My son started a fire with only one match and without the use of paper or any lighting fuel. He has learned well. He also got to drive the Jeep for about 3 miles on a forest road. He is still grinning from that.

Thank you sir. A whirlwind of a trip but you know about those kind of trips yourself.

Not pictured here but we also visited a Lava Tube Cave, the Grand Falls, and the area around Wahweap Hoodoos.

Jeep did fine. We had a blast on one of the narrow trails. Sand, curves, and whoops. I took a video but the camera ended up getting loose so after a couple minutes all you see is the roof.

Haha, sounds like a fun place. I would love to take the 2nd gen through that kinda stuff. We can go back and i'll get video..and not of the roof! haha

Really good series, looks like you had a great time. My favorite are the slots and windy day.

Marc Muench

Wonderful post and a good time had!
I noticed in the image of lower Antelope, a rock has fallen (since I was there last) next to the arch. Things are always changing!
Also, interesting to see how much higher the water is in Lake Powell.

Thanks Marc- yes the slots have changed a little bit due to some pretty big rains the last couple years.
