Utah, 2018 - Landscape Photography and Hiking Adventure
I’m fighting for it, my friends. Each year, I’m fighting to get far away from my routine and not shower for a week and sleep on the ground and take photos and hike until my feet fall off and feel so insignificant under the pressing depth of Creation. Not just a weekend getaway, but an intentional effort to go somewhere new.
To be clear, it’s not escapism. I love my life back home.
It’s the desire to feel uncomfortable by breaking my normal, so as to breed an itch that only unfamiliar terrain and an oil change’s worth of miles on my aging car can scratch.
So I went to Utah this year. I went with my good friend, Stephen. We packed up a car full of pasta sides and camera gear and headed to the West, only 6 hours further than the 13 we drove last year.
Here are some pictures I took.
Trip Notes:
We drove for two days. In the middle we stopped and camped for the night an hour outside of Denver. This is where the photos start. We then went to Arches national park and spent 3 nights there. After that, we moved camp to Dead Horse Point state park as a home base and spent two days exploring Canyonlands National Park and Dead Horse Point.
That’s it! These are some of my favorites from Utah, 2018.
