  • In this winter scene from the Grand Canyon, the canyon walls frame Isis Temple in the distance. I had arrived at the trailhead over an hour before sunrise in near whiteout conditions. The wind was howling, and the snow was blowing sideways. I set off down the trail in the dark with my headlamp lighting the way. A short distance into the canyon, I came upon a large snowdrift that wasn't there the day before when I had scouted the scene. The snow drift was completely blocking the trail, so I felt it was unsafe to continue in the dark and decided to n to the trailhead. About 15 minutes before sunrise, I started back down the trail again, and this time I could safely make it through the snow drift and to the spot on the trail from which I could photograph the canyon. Mother nature wasn't exactly cooperating this morning, with the view into the canyon still obscured by clouds below the rim and falling snow. A little over an hour after sunrise, the storm began to clear, and I was able to photograph Isis Temple while there was still dreamy quality to the atmosphere.

  • While on a multi-day river trip down the lower canyon of the San Juan River in Utah we had stopped to camp at the mouth of Slickhorn Canyon. Shortly before sunset I had set out on my own to explore Slickhorn in search of a reflecting pool. A gentle breeze moved through the canyon as I hiked along the streambed. There was a gentle rain falling as the sun broke out under the clouds and begin to illuminate the canyon walls towering above me. As this happened, a rainbow began to appear above the golden cliffs radiating warm light of sunset juxtaposed against the cold dark skies of the clearing storm. There I stood, alone, in the middle of a red rock wilderness, overwhelmed the by the sheer scale and beauty of the landscape I was immersed in. To this day it remains one of the single greatest moments I've experienced in nature.

  • As I was making this photograph, I watched grains of sand slowly tumble through this sandstone passage, and I couldn’t help but reflect on how long nature has been at work sculpting this magnificent place.

  • A winter storm has left a dusting of snow on the trees below the rim of the Grand Canyon. Across the canyon, Isis Temple is bathed in warm light through an opening in the clouds as the storm begins to clear.<br />

Isis Temple was named by writer George Wharton James for Isis, the Egyptian goddess of nature. This view of Isis Temple is from Powell Point, named for explorer John Wesley Powell, on the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park.

  • Hopi House on the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. From the National Park Service website..."The Hopi House (1905) is a large, multi-story building of stone masonry, shaped and built like a Hopi pueblo. When Mary Colter was commissioned in 1904 by the Fred Harvey Company to design an “Indian Arts Building” as the hospitality giant liked to call their souvenir shops, the talented and stubborn architect was eager to accept the challenge. She was one of just a few women in a male-dominated field, and “lady-like” wasn’t in her vocabulary. Neither were the words “traditional European influences.” Colter’s vision extended well beyond that. Inspired by the natural beauty of the Grand Canyon, she wanted to design something that appeared native, natural and timeless.<br />
<br />
Hopi House, modeled after the 10,000 year-old pueblo dwellings of the Hopi village in Old Oraibi, was a radically new experience for tourists. Colter’s attention to detail and human history created a strange and exotic world they could easily and safely enjoy."
