A good hiking backpack - I brought a cute little daypack for hiking, but when loaded with water bottles, the straps were too thin and unsupportive.I am going to be buying one of these for our next National Parks trip! A telephoto lens - We don't usually use our longer lenses much, but this trip we found our 85mm lens to be one of the most important ones! To compress backgrounds and make mountains and scenery look as dramatic as possible, a telephoto is key! Here's a link to the Sony 70-200mm as well.
A lot of the trails we went on had a lot of loose dirt and gravel, and the extra support is key. Hiking shoes - I usually just wear my running shoes when I go hiking, but the added grip of switching to proper hiking shoes has been a huge change.A warm jacket - The Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon at sunrise and sunset were much colder than I thought they would be in July! Even in the height of summer, make sure to bring a good jacket.Or splurge and get yourself the best of the best with a small Yeti. A good cooler - Crucial for keeping healthy snacks (we packed baby carrots, cherry tomoatos, mandarins, and salami and cheese to snack on so we wouldn't only eat chips & burgers) and drinks cold - everyone knows that for a road trip, a cooler's place is right behind the center consel for the easiest access.As a wrap for cold mountain mornings, a quick beach blanket at Lake Powell, and a place to sit for an impromptu picnic, this was one surprising item we used over and over again. A Camping Blanket - we threw ours in the car at the last minute and ended up being so happy we did.Enjoy your mornings, spend the hottest, harshest mid-day hours driving to the next destination and arrive at the ideal times.ĭay 3: Sedona to The Grand Canyon South RimĪdd a Day: Page, Arizona and Antelope Canyonĭay 5: Horseshoe Bend, Lake Powell, Bryce Canyonĭay 6: Bryce Canyon to Zion National Park This itinerary is a photographer's dream, designed to give you two chances to experience every park at it's best - both in late afternoon and sunset, and early morning, when the crowds are the lowest and the light and temperatures are at their best.
