 Zion National Park encompasses some of the most spectacular cliffs, rugged canyons, lush forests and sculpted sandstone mountain peaks in the United States. A central piece of its dramatic beauty is Zion Canyon, which has been carved by the powerful erosive force of the North Fork of the Virgin River. This canyon will be our base as we explore the park’s rich array of scenic attractions.
Come capture light reflecting from the cliff walls, ringing the Temple of Sinawava; hike interpretative trails to the Emerald Pools, Hidden Canyon and the Weeping Wall; photograph the prominent rock formations at Angel’s Landing, the Great White Throne and the Court of the Patriarchs; and wade through the Zion Narrows to photograph fall colors, patterns and reflections—which is sure to be a highlight of the trip! Wading the creek in dry suits, we’ll have plenty of time to get creative with geologic patterns and autumn color reflected in mirrored pools.
 With Mother Nature's cooperation, we’ll encounter a full palette of rich reds and vibrant golds, as bigtooth maples and cottonwoods display their luxurious autumn hues among the stunning domes, temples and weathered earthen shapes that were formed by eons of wind and water. We’ll also spend time in Kolob Canyon, which offers similar scenery to Zion Canyon, but which is in a remote and less widely traveled section of the park. The soaring cliffs, narrow canyons and unusual rock formations of this remarkable refuge are filled with wonderful colors, varied textures and dramatic light, and will provide countless amazing photographic opportunities.
Zion National Park is a must-see, and with Colleen’s expertise and teaching skills, you’ll have a chance to capture this amazing landscape at its very best.
Group size is limited to 12 students, allowing you more one-on-one time with the instructor.
