Orange Cliffs

Photographer's note:

While walking through the narrows in Zion National Park, the orange canyon walls stand straight up from the Virgin River below. This image means a lot to me. While learning photography and watching other landscape photographers travel and post pictures from their travels, Zion and the Narrows always stood out. This location grabbed my attention every time: the bright colors, the clear water, and just the experience of walking up a canyon of flowing water. It rose to the top of my "photography bucket list" very fast. When planning this Utah Trip, I made sure to prioritize this hike and wow did it pay off. This image is two years old now, and still in my TOP 3 ALL TIME favorite photos, and this hike is my #1 favorite hike I've ever done. This image was the first image I ever printed out and framed, and what I consider to be the true motivator to my undertaking as a landscape photographer and now business owner. An absolute must-see when in Utah. Get up early, get your feet wet, and experience one of the best locations in the U.S.
