Chasing the Sunset… Nude in the Canyon Pt.1 Photo Set (Patreon)

This trail had been sitting in the back of my mind ever since I visited it last fall.

The first time I discovered it was by accident, I was stuck in Utah for an extra night on one of my tours and started poking around Google Maps when it suggested trails nearby. That’s how I found this stunning Canyon.

So when I came back this past Fall, I knew exactly where I wanted to go. The hike in was easy about 45 minutes, but we were racing the sun the whole way. There were so many places along the trail we could have stopped to shoot, but we kept pushing forward because we wanted to make it to the canyon at the end before the light disappeared.

And we barely made it....

The canyon itself felt tight, hidden, and echoing, like one of those places that quiet and almost a little eerie. By the time we arrived the sun was already slipping away and the light had that strange magic hour glow where everything feels a little unreal.

We saw only one person during the first 15 minutes of the trail… and after that it felt like we had the entire canyon to ourselves. Which meant there was really nothing stopping me from slipping out of my clothes and letting the space do its thing.

This is only Part 1 of the set....Part 2 gets a little more adventurous… and slightly chaotic.

If you want to see the behind-the-scenes clips from this shoot, drop a comment below and I’ll send them your way.

And tell me...Would you have stopped along the trail… or chased the canyon like we did? 🌅
