The Spire

Desert Southwest, Utah

A Limited Edition, Fine Art photograph of a dramatic rock spire in a remote canyon in the Desert Southwest in Utah. Available as a Fine Art print, Metal print or Acrylic print.

This spire is another one of those hard to get to locations. First, you have to figure out where it actually is and how to get there. It turned out that there is a dirt road that gets within about 2 miles of it, leaving you with that to hike around and over various dunes.

You can't see it from where you have to park your car so I used a drone to scout ahead and verify it was there behind a large desert butte. With that done, I loaded up the camera backpack with two cameras and lenses and was on my way.

I have been wanting to capture this for some time. I wanted to get up to an elevated position that required me to crawl up a steep dune with loose rocks while down on all fours. I kept sliding back, but with serious determination, I made it up. Of course, that's when you see that if you had gone another way there was an easier way up.

I cranked away many images at different times and exposures, but this was the winner that made it's way to my portfolio. The hike back to the car as the sunset was pretty enjoyable.
