txwhitacre Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I had the opportunity to spend a day and a night in Palo Duro Canyon last weekend. My goal was to get some photography in during the day then and hike the 3 mile trip (I am not an experienced hiker) to lighthouse around sunset. I wanted to do some night time photography and get a shot of the Milky Way near one of the rock cliffs there. That all went well until it was time to head back to my tent 3 miles away. I got a bit disoriented and had trouble finding my way off the mesa. In the pitch dark with only my flashlights I could not find the trail down the off the mesa. There mesa has shear drop edges most way around except for the trail down. I ended up finding a steep but doable slope and bush wacked my way down in the dark. Once down I still found myself in a dry river bed. Relieved to be back on flat ground and easy walking I decided to head north east on the river bottom hoping that it would lead me back to the main trail out. After about a hour of hiking the river bed I found the main trail and was able to get back to my tent just after midnight. I plan to post a series of photos over the next few days on my flickr account. I hope you enjoy the time lapse photos I put together here. Timelapse photos were shot with the sony a7rii using the cinetics axis pro 360 and a trigger trap. Music by us.audionetwork.com.
