Ride along as I leave Colorado and head into Utah, Nevada, California, Arizona, New Mexico, and back to Colorado.

Join us as we travel to Wyoming and the Grand Teton National Park, to the deserts of Utah, and back through Colorado taking autumn images along the way.

It’s a long way from Colorado to Alberta, Canada, but it was so worth it!

I had five days to squeeze in a speed run through NW AZ and SW UT. The weather looked like it could go either way, amazing or awful. The direction it took, only time would tell…

From the first moment, this trip didn’t go as planned. That’s par for the course, especially when dealing with Mother Nature. Despite that, getting to see/photograph multiple sunrises and sunsets in addition to quite a bit of wildlife, how could one complain?

My eyes were barely opened from a good night’s rest when I glanced over at my phone. “What’s the cloud forecast look like this morning?” I asked myself as I struggled to decipher the words on my phone. They were upside down... as was my phone. Awake? Nope.

The cloud predictions were setting up to be spectacular. “Could I make it to The Barn?” I wondered to myself. I thought I could, but there was literally no time to debate it. Out the door, I went!
