Read MorePlaces I hope to photograph during the next few weeks
We are finally on the road! I'm writing this from our hotel in Coos Bay, located in the Central Oregon Coast. And reading Rachel's post about our road trip, I realized I never posted our plans on here. She listed the places where we are going to be spending our next 9 weeks, and I'll leave here some of the spots I am hoping to photograph:
- Bandon, OR
- Redwoods in Northern California
- San Francisco, CA
- Joshua Tree, CA
- Anza-Borrego Desert, CA
- Alabama Hills, Mono Lake and Eastern Sierras, CA
- Death Valley, CA
- Valley of Fire, NV
- Sedona, AZ
- Grand Canyon, AZ
- Zion, UT
- Bryce Canyon, UT
- Antelope Canyon, AZ
- Monument Valley, UT
- Canyonlands, UT
- Arches, UT
- Mesa Verde, CO
These are just the "big" highlights: I hope we get to visit some places I don't even know of just yet.
