Rounding out my trip we’re hoping to make it up to Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park. I know I’ve been to both the parks but it’s been quite a few years. These park will add to the rich diversity of parks that I am visiting.

This is the largest cluster of National Parks on this trip including Canyonlands National Park, Arches National Park, and Natural Bridges National Monument. I’m very familiar with all of these parks having lived nearby for the better part of a year exploring them all. The vistas and natural rock formations are a perfect canvas for the sunrise and sunset’s that I plan on documenting. The stars here are the clearest in the country so I’m looking forward to that as well.

Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park is a park I’ve been to many times. I am looking forward to shooting some video in the midst of these giants and trying to convey their magnitude as well as atmosphere that the groves have

The first two parks I plan on visiting. Shenandoah National Park and Assateague Island.

I’ve never been to to Shenandoah but I hear it is well worth it. I’m looking forward to the eastern forested mountain environment and the skyline drive.

Assateague Island I’ve been to once. I think it’s a great example of an eastern coastline with the dunes and shrubs, the wild horses are just a bonus
