Itinerary

In order to deliver the best results, we keep the itinerary flexible to account for weather, conditions, and group interest. The itinerary below is just an example of what you can expect.

• Day 1:  We begin at 1PM in Kanab, UT with a short orientation session and classroom style instruction.  When finished, we grab a quick bite to eat and head out to shoot sunset and blue hour from a location with incredible sandstone formations. The options are endless for big panoramics or tight abstracts.
• Day 2:  We wake up early to capture sunrise shots of a volcanic crater. We return for breakfast and hold a short classroom session. After lunch, we drive out to White Pocket. Even if you've been here before, it's going to look entirely different from the drone's-eye perspective.  As long as winds are calm we'll be able to fly during blue hour.
• Day 3: We drone at first light over some incredible Chinle formations with unbelievable textures, patterns, and colors. We return for breakfast and then hold a post-processing session where we'll cover our favorite techniques to enhance your aerial images. That afternoon we drive deep into the Grand Staircase Escalante and explore scenes of canyons, rock formations, and layered landscapes.
• Days 4: With overcast skies this morning, we don't have to leave as early. We fly over some amazing colored badlands with intricate fractal patterns. At midday we hold another classroom session and then venture out to photograph a big viewpoint that looks even more amazing from the air!
• Day 5:  We are out well before dawn to capture drone aerials of some of the most colorful and varied sandstone you'll ever see.  The options are endless for incredible abstract compositions. We hold a final image critique session before we venture deep into the backcountry with some stunning aerial landscapes.
• Day 6:  Departure day. You can plan your return travel anytime.
