That is a difficult balance - showing detail, but keeping it natural looking. Thanks Scott. That is a difficult balance – showing detail, but keeping it natural looking.

I think the 2nd photo looks good that dark. Since the sun is setting it would look unnatural if the canyon was any lighter. I’ve never heard of this park, but it sounds interesting.

Hi Joe. We actually came down the 91 through Leadville. It was also very scenic, and not too bad towing. A few nights ago, after making a long drive over a pass on a dirt road we hit the 92 and thought it might be a good way to return to camp. Well, it was pitch dark, very windy and full of deer - it seemed like they would leap out in front of you around every bend! I want to try it again in day light. Thanks for the other tips, I will have to check them out on the map. Hi Mark. We did do a lot of planning trying to find a viewpoint where I could also position Janine and the canyon in the same view. In fact, we tried every viewpoint along the canyon before finding this one. Thanks again everyone! Thanks a lot everyone!

I have often wondered about the planning involved when you have Janine as a small figure in the shot. I don't imagine it is always easy to get to the place you want to be. It almost looks like you shot the top one from a tight rope stretched across the canyon. Looks like a very cool place Ron.

It is one of my favorite roads. Probably not as fun in a camper as on a motorcycle though. I highly recommend highway 141 through Gateway if you have the time too - kind of an indirect route to Moab.

Never have actually made it there but definitely wanting to try and get there more now that I've seen these shots! Very nice!
