Day 1 (Travel Day)(D)

Arrive in Flagstaff, Arizona for an orientation and welcome dinner.

Day 2 (B,L,D)

We’ll make our way North and East to Monument Valley, located near the Arizona / Utah border and part of the Navajo Nation. Monument Valley has been seen in many movies and photographs, and really is one of the truly iconic places in the American Southwest. The magnificent landscape is dotted with eye-pleasing sandstone mesas, buttes and other curious rock features. Your guide will take you to the perfect location in order to capture the setting sun over this most famous of western landscapes.

Day 3 (B,L,D)

We’ll make sure to capture Monument Valley again this morning before relocating a few hours down the road to Page, Arizona, where we’ll spend the next two nights of this trip.
We’ll check in to our comfy hotel and get prepared for an evening shoot from an exceptional viewpoint overlooking glassy, Lake Powell. This reservoir is world-famous for its massive and curious shoreline as well as its colorful sandstone rock formations.
We’ll be shooting from a location not well known to most visitors.

Day 4 (B,D)

Today we’ll head to Antelope Canyon X, a stunning slot canyon every bit as amazing as Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon, without the overwhelming crowds of tourists. Here we’ll find a photographer-friendly slot canyon where we’ll fully emerge ourselves, and our cameras, in the magic of the towering glowing sandstone walls.

Day 5 (B,L,D)

This morning we will check out of our Page accommodations and head towards the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, catching a morning shot along the way. We’ll have a roughly two to three-hour drive, with sights and photo opportunities along the way, before checking in to our rustic cabins that sit just a stone’s throw from the Canyon’s rim!

The North Rim Lodge, built in 1936, is designated as a National Historic Landmark and offers a beautiful patio that is perched on the rim of the Canyon, perfect for viewing, relaxing, and/or photographing from. After a delicious dinner we’ll make a short drive to Cape Royal, which offers the widest panorama of any viewpoint at Grand Canyon.
After an amazing sunset shot, we’ll head back to our cozy cabins nestled in the cool higher elevation pines of the north side of the Grand Canyon.

Day 6 (B,D)

We’ll awake early again this morning to photograph a glorious sunrise at the canyon rim. Your guide will go over some of the intricacies of capturing desert sunrise shots, and then we’ll head in for a leisurely breakfast at the lodge. As weather can be unpredictable, we’ll want to remain a bit flexible on this afternoon, and throughout this trip as to what we’ll do and when so that we have to ability to head “wherever the action might be.” Our final evening shoot of the tour will take us back to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.

Day 7 (B)

On our final morning together, we’ll shoot sunrise from our lodge patio. After our last breakfast as a group, we’ll make the drive through the desert and back to Flagstaff, complete with amazing memories and many wonderful images of our time in Grand Canyon Country.
