p.1 #1 · Bryce Canyon National Park - Sunrise magic
In late March, I embarked on a trip to explore Utah's national parks. My journey began at Bryce Canyon, a place I'd never been before. The drive to the park was breathtaking, with red sandstone cliffs dusted in snow. I opted to stay just outside the park for easy access, but the real perk was witnessing the sunrise paint the landscape in a mesmerizing display of colors. Unfortunately, on my first day, the sunrise never materialized. With a snowstorm looming on day two and knowing it might be my only chance, I braved the frigid temperatures to capture some sunrise shots. My initial plan to hike down into the valley was thwarted by the snow-covered, treacherous ground. Hence, I set up my camera at a viewpoint and was rewarded with an unbelievable spectacle. The scene, both surreal and unforgettable, was made even more special by the fact that I had the entire vista to myself. Here are a few images to share from that unforgettable experience. Finally getting around to these images!
All images were taken with 5DMKIII, used TS 24mm for panorama and 16-35mm

A bit overcooked for my taste
I uploaded these while sitting in hotel via my laptop. Got home and looked at all of them again and I agree that #2 had a bit more saturation. All the others looked fine on my monitor. Thanks.

Beautiful series! I have fond memories of shooting at Bryce.
Thanks, I really enjoyed shooting sunrise and driving around to all the viewpoints with snow all around me. Red sandstone with snow is really special.

Thanks Doug, sunrise was just special and the colors were unreal. It only lasted for short time before the clouds moved in.

Glorious images, Parul! So glad you got to experience this place.
Thanks Ross, It was an unbelievable experience in Bryce. One evening I did hike down into the canyon but it was tough due to show and slippery and wet trail. I believe you were there just a a day or two after me.
