I'm glad you guys are enjoying these. Thanks for the comments and compliments. We had a great time. I should have gotten this posted sooner, it was one of the best trips of the year.

We love Mokee Dugway but pam has to have a hood to do the climb. Have you done the float trip from Bluff to Mexican Hat? The one day trip is really worth doing?

I haven't done a float trip in that area. I would love to though.

The only good thing about being the passenger on the Mokee Dugway is being able to see more. Too dangerous for the driver to take their eyes off the road. It's a great little roller coaster ride.

Were there filters used in any of the photography???

Baja is officially on the back burner (for now)..

No filters for me. Some lucky shots, some were blown out. I wish I'd taken more in the sandstorm, those turned out cool. But I only took two pics to keep my camera out of the wind. Mark shot film and I don't believe he used any filters. I shot digitial mostly and just a couple with my 35mm.

This is a great example of how the grass is always greener on the other side. I've been fortunate enough to make several trips to Utah in the last few years but I've never been to Baja or Mexico. I love Utah, but now I just really want to sink my feet in the sand with beer in hand, on some quiet, remote Mexican beach...

What time of the year do you think is the best time to visit?

I like it a little cooler than some so I'll say September or October. I wouldn't want to be around in the summer months, too hot. March-April can still see the random spring snowstorm.

Mark made a good comment about not wanting to be in camp at Goosenecks SP during mid-day even in September. No trees = no shade. But it sure was nice at night with all the windows open, laid back listening to the nothing.

With photos like that your making Utah a very popular place! Hope you don't come to my neck of the woods. Otherwise there will never be a place to camp. It would be filled with people looking for the photos you've taken. I am planning a Utah trip in April. Mainly because of the fantastic photos you have taken. Can't wait to see the area in person! Thanks...

I don't know what it was, but the feeling I had driving through here, climbing over the rocks and peeking into the canyons was magical, almost spiritual. Here I felt on sacred ground. The Navajos know what they're talking about.

Giddieup:D Couldn't agree more.

KCO- You really need to stop posting these pic of my favorite places. I really don't want to share.
The're mine, ok?
