This trip was my second with Backcountry Journeys.
We had hoped for Winter, but we got winter (small w). Don’t get me wrong, other signs of winter were there. I froze my ass off a couple of times and almost all of the restaurants were closed so we ate at the same few crappy places repeatedly. Let’s just say that it was not a culinary tour.
Grant Ordelheide was our guide and he’s a hell of a photographer and photography coach. I hope to work with him again.
The word “hoodoo” means to bewitch, which is what Bryce Canyon’s rock formations surely do.
The hoodoos we are talking about are tall skinny shafts of rock that protrude from the bottom of arid basins. Hoodoos are most commonly found in the High Plateaus region of the Colorado Plateau and in the Badlands regions of the Northern Great Plains. While hoodoos are scattered throughout these areas, nowhere in the world are they as abundant as in the northern section of Bryce Canyon National Park.

Grant said he knew about this one tree that we needed to see. We had seen a lot of trees, many of them interesting, but this one turned out to be special. Capture Date: Feb 9, 2022 08:54 PM•Views: 41
This beautiful, gnarled tree fascinated me endlessly and we spent nearly 2 hours looking at it and photographing it from every angle. If I went back, I think I could spend two days there and still not tease out every story it had to tell. In the end, this shot was my favorite. No comments yet.

At Zion National Park This tree seemingly just appeared out of the shadows when the sun lit it. I grabbed my tripod and ran while the light was right. Never trust the light to stay where it is! It was gone just a few minutes after I took the shot.
