This Time in Canyonlands National Park I Hiked to Explore the Island in the Sky (Canyonlands National Park)
On my last trip to Canyonlands National Park, it had been a short added drive to take in a few overlooks based on recommendations from a person at a local Austin camera store. Amazing views, needless to say, but this time I'd hope to explore and hike more locations. That's the story behind this walk about along Grand View Point Trail out to the less explored overlook. This view is looking to the southwest to the Green River area with canyon after canyon seemingly stretching to the horizon. With some angling of my SLR camera, I was able to catch a more sweeping view and not have much of a flattening look. Far (far off) in the distance are peaks of the Henry Mountains, including Mount Pennell and Mount Ellen. What also drew me into this image as I finished post-processing in Capture NX2 was the color contrast between the reds and browns of the national park and then blues and whites of the skies above. A contrast but also a complement for this setting in Canyonlands National Park.
