Southeastern Utah
I'm taking a group of students to Southern Utah this summer to photograph and hike and camp. We'll be going to Arches National Park, various canyons in the Moab area, Canyonlands National Park, and areas around Goblin Valley. It should be a lot of fun.
Before I had a bunch of students in tow, I wanted to make sure I knew where everything was and familiarize myself with the area. So, Jon and I headed down over the weekend to figure it out. We spent a couple of days in the Hanksville area and photographed a couple of rock art sites and found a few roads that led to destinations to take students. We also spent a couple of days near Moab and Arches National Park. We met up with my former professor Craig Law and had fun photographing and camping with him and his students.
We had quite a few adventures, got sort of lost a couple of times, had some laughs, and made a few photographs. I think things will go much better when I head down again with students in early June.

That is kindof what Kelly and I are going to be doing this summer. I am so excited to see the Grand canyon, Bryce and other stuff.
Uh, that does not look safe! Yikes.
I was thinking the same thing about it not looking safe. The 2nd to last picture looks like he is pretty high up and could fall at any minute. I love that area, though. It sounds like it will be a fun trip.
The Black Dragon Wash picture is my FAVORITE! Love the grooves in the rock with the black and white photo. Super cool.
That sounds like a fun trip, I'm eager for camping season to begin.
Great shots Darren..Amazing shots of the drawings left by former "dwellers".

What? No mention of your Utah wife? I'm ashamed.
(Pat C.) I'm with Carrie on the Black Dragon Wash photo, although they are all incredible. We have GOT to go down there!
I might fall to my death at that place! This should be a lot of fun!
Wow! Why didn't you do trips like that when I was there??? That looks like it will be a blast.
Black Dragon Wash is a fantastic image. I think that the red rocks relly lend themselves to b&w well.
