The plan was to hit the road at 9am this morning headed to Arches and Canyonland National Parks. Well, when you’re traveling with my mom, 10am isn’t too bad. Though she was up late ironing for some reason. (Who irons on vacation?)

311 miles later or so, we pulled into Canyonlands National Park for a gorgeous afternoon of shooting pictures. Due to the failure of my voice activated lightstand (and my failure to bring along one of the regular type) I didn’t get a photo of myself standing on the rim of a canyon, but, c’est la vie. Definitely a gorgeous park.

Sunset was spectacular, though we missed shooting in it because we were on our way to Arches National Park in what was left of the light trying to figure out where we wanted to be for sunrise. We’ve got a decent place scoped out, so hopefully that pans out. And now… definitely bedtime.
