This workshop has been one of our most popular over the years, but we have made  it even better. We will start the workshop at the Grand Canyon for a sunrise and then proceed on to Page and Antelope Canyon, the most famous of the Southwest's slots.  We will also spend two full days at Monument Valley and plan to go to Hunt’s Mesa  (if possible) for a sunset.  We will then add a night at Canyon de Chelly, a new stop for us. Then it is off to Sedona and its red rocks.

Northern Arizona’s share of the colorful Colorado Plateau graces us with arches, pinnacles, canyons (both vastly wide and precariously narrow), and swirls of multihued rock that evidence millions of years of the earth’s evolution. Our base of operations will move from Grand Canyon to exciting Page, Arizona, then to spectacular Monument Valley, Canyon de Chelly and ending in the red rocks of the Sedona area. While in the Page area, we will visit Antelope Canyon (weather permitting -- and it is very rare for the weather to be a problem in April), slot canyons so narrow that the midday sun shines in and creates a vibrant light show on the Navajo sandstone walls. The warm morning and evening light creates a dramatic effect on the pink, red and orange rocks around Lake Powell and throughout area. We will then proceed to Monument Valley, for two days of sunset and sunrise shoots with a local photo guide, exploring the huge red buttes that have been a backdrop for so many of the old classic western movies. Then it is off to Canyon de Chelly for its unique view of large buttes and the canyon below and with its ruin structures from ancient times. Next we will head south to Sedona, one of the most stimulating red rock areas. Evening and morning destinations will include exuberantly glowing red rock cliffs and formations that seem to have been created simply to stir the creative juices in nature photographers.
