Little Cut overlooks the Colorado River south of Page. We went there for a sunrise shoot. This first photo is looking back to the east with the sun rising behind Navajo Mountain.

The sun peeked through a narrow window in the clouds long enough to give this glow to the already red rocks in the area.

The next shots are from Horseshoe Bend Overlook. This is again a few miles south of Page. A short hike leaves you looking straight down to the Coloradao River about 800 feet below. There are no handrails. It is definitely not a place for small kids. These rocks provided some great foreground detail.

Here is a shot looking almost straight down to the left half of Horeshoe Bend. I took several pictures with the 16mm lens that easily show the entire bend, but I didn't like them as well as this one.

These next images are taken at Waterholes Canyon. It is about 5 miles south of Page. It is on Navajo land and you need to get a permit to hike there. These formations are somewhat reminiscent of the Coyote Butte ("the Wave") area in Southern Utah.

This spot just lacks a surfer below the curl to make the wave image complete.
