(Apologies for the hyperlinks, still trying to figure out posting on this forum)

 

My wife and I traveled to Zon National Park in Utah, USA in May of this year. Here are a few of my favorites:

 

Our first hike of the trip. Taken at sunset from Canyon Overlook Trail. 24-70 f/4 at 24mm f/9 HDR base image 1/200 ISO 100 handheld.

Sunrise photo taken on our hike to observation point. We took a cheater's hike starting from a trailhead outside of the east enterance to the park. Made the one way trip distance around 3.7 mi on to of a mesa vs the 8mi starting from the canyon floor and hiking to the top. My wife is pregnant, so we had to be conservative on trip distances. 24-70mm f/4 at 49mm f/7.1 1/80 ISO 160 handheld.

Taken from observation point. You can see angel's landing on the right and have a breathtaking view of the main canyon. The virgin river is seen winding though the canyon floor, closely followed by the park access road. 24-70mm f/4 at 24mm f/10 1/30 ISO 100 tripod mounted.

Those are some of my favorites. We also saw Bryce Canyon National Park and Arches National Park while we were there, but those pictures will be in another post. Here's the link to the trip album on Flickr: https://flickr.com/photos/149544869@N08/sets/72157681970352140

So I will try attaching images via responses.  Again, sorry for the links in the original post, just trying to get more than one downsized image per post.

Again, sorry for the issues in the original post.  I thought that posting the links would have a preview image show up in the post.  I'm always happy to hear comments/critique of my images.  Hope you enjoyed!

 

Night shot taken from near main park entrance. Watchman formation is in view. Light from near full moon that night washed out some stars in my astro shots, but it did a great job of lighting the canyon wall as the moon was setting.  E 16mm f/2.8 at 16mm f/2.8 1/20 ISO 800 tripod.
