Winter in Arches and Canyonlands

[IntrepidXJ]

We went to Arches and Canyonlands over the weekend to do some easy hikes. I prefer to go to the National Parks in the winter when there are a lot less people around, plus I really like the snow Here's a few photos.

Incredible photos, what kind of camera are you using?

Most were taken with a Canon Rebel XSi (the photos of me were taken by my girlfriend with my Canon Powershot SD890IS). A number of the photos above are HDR, also

Sweet, photo's. Going when it's wet or snowy out changes the views abit plus having less people on the trails is a plus.

Filters?

What filters do you use if any?

What filters do you use if any?

Just a UV filter....and that's mainly to protect the lens

Outstanding!! I look forward to your trip reports and pictures. Makes me wish I lived a little closer to the SW, but then I have to remind myself that I am a stones throw from the Mojave Desert and the Sierra Nevada's and many other beautiful places. I just need to get off my butt and get out there.
Thanks for the inspiration and keep the TR's coming.
