Year end is approaching fast and we are happy to report that we got through the year without major incidents and Covid-19. We made some great memories in Page, AZ by visiting South Coyote Buttes, Wire Pass Canyon and Buckskin Gulch as well as some of our favorite hoodoos again. We just like the remoteness,…...

Since we only have one day left and Bill had mentioned before that he would be interested in shooting some slot canyons, we take him to Wire Pass and Buckskin Gulch.We don’t see too many people, which makes it easier to photograph the canyons. Since there is a new view every few yards, it takes…...

When we set the date for our trip with Bill, we were disappointed to find out that there were no permits left for Coyote Buttes South for that week, but we decided to come anyway, since there is so much else to see in the area. Also, there is a new daily lottery to get…...

We are happy to see that the roads are dry and allow us to show Bill (who joined us on this trip) the area.Since we had to pick up the permit for Coyote Buttes South at the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) office in Page at 9 am, we are a bit later than usual.…...

We were there way before sunrise and took the time to drive around looking for flooded farm fields, where we would…...

Last week Marco was up in Heber-Overgaard, AZ with a friend and came home raving about how beautiful it was. So, we keep watching the weather forecast and find that Monday would be perfect, sunny all morning and only in the afternoon some expected thunderstorms (we are still in monsoon season).We leave early and arrive…...

Even though we didn’t get a lot of rain this summer yet, the mountains around us have been getting some decent monsoon storms with a lot of water. Flagstaff for instance had to fight many flash floods already. So on the weekend, Marco says: “I wonder whether the Chocolate Falls/Grand Falls have water”. I did…...

The Wahweap Hoodoos are unlike most of the hoodoos that you're familiar with in Utah. Instead of deep, rich shades of red and orange, these hoodoos are a ghostly white.They are located on the edge of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument along the Wahweak Creek and are a more difficult to access - we have…...
