Capitol Reef Park in Southern Utah is less popular than the more famous Bryce National Park close by. Yet the serenity and untouched nature of the landscape is what makes it special.
I have found Southern Utah to have some of the most beautiful and rugged landscapes in the United States. The Delicate Arch at Arches National Park, is a state landmark seen on signs and license plates. A Sunrise at the Mesa Arch at Canyonlands Park is a treat, and well worth braving the biting cold in the early morning. The winter morning light at the Turret Arch in Arches National Park looks almost unreal, making it all the more a pleasure to photograph.
This Panorama at Sunset at Capitol Reef Park, was taken in the early part of a winter evening. As we walked towards the vantage point, there was complete silence around us. But we could see what appeared to be footprints of a mountain lion on the trail. Clearly we were alone here in this creatures' habitat. We were grateful to be able to enjoy and capture this scene of the rock formations in the park, with the La Salle mountains in the background.
