The Experience

Because we’re venturing into true wilderness, there’s no strict itinerary, the desert will decide. Weather, light, and safety will guide our path. We might spend a day photographing within a labyrinth of sandstone canyons, then move on to a ridge overlooking endless waves of painted hills. Every location has been handpicked by Seth and Hunter after years of exploration and discovery in their home state of Utah.

Expect dust, laughter, early mornings, and moments of awe that remind you why you fell in love with photography in the first place.

Sample Itinerary

The desert has its own rhythm, and we’ll move with it. Our exact route depends on light, weather, and instinct, but here’s what a week in Utah’s wild heart might look like. Each day brings a new landscape, a new challenge, and a new reason to fall in love with the desert all over again.

Day 1 — Into the Wild
We’ll meet in Grand Junction, load up the 4x4s, and head straight for the open road. After a scenic six-hour drive into remote backcountry, we’ll set up camp and head out to photograph one of the most breathtaking slot canyons in the Southwest, far from crowds, close to magic. As the stars rise over camp, you’ll already feel a world away from ordinary.

Day 2 — Sandstone Giants & Hidden Canyons
We’ll start the day with a hearty breakfast before spending the morning photographing inside a majestic slot canyon carved by centuries of wind and water. By afternoon, we’ll travel deeper into the wilderness and arrive at a new camp in time to capture sunset on sandstone towers glowing in warm desert light.

Day 3 — Big Views & Remote Exploration
Dawn brings wide horizons and a sunrise that fills the canyons with gold. After breakfast, we’ll explore deeper into the labyrinth, hands-on scrambling, non-technical but full of fun and challenge. We’ll finish the day with sunset at a secluded overlook that embodies the vastness of Utah’s canyon country.

Day 4 — A Canyon Like No Other
Today the landscape changes completely. After a short drive, we’ll find ourselves in a world of sculpted rock and reflected light, a slot canyon unlike any other, filled with twisting passages and endless photographic possibilities. As the sun sets, we’ll capture a surreal alien landscape that feels more dream than reality.

Day 5 — Rugged Roads & Untouched Beauty
Sunrise greets us right outside camp, no driving, just light and silence. Later, we’ll tackle rugged 4x4 tracks that test both patience and teamwork, crossing terrain few will ever see. The reward? A sunset scene so wild and untouched it may never have been photographed before. This is the frontier of creativity.

Day 6 — The Place Unknown
We’ll stay near the previous night’s location, one of the most remarkable places in the Southwest. It’s a landscape so unique that even seasoned explorers rarely find it. As evening approaches, we’ll transition back toward comfort, checking into a nearby hotel to unwind and begin post-processing the week’s images.

Day 7 — Homeward Bound
We’ll make the early drive back to Grand Junction, sharing stories, images, and laughter along the way. You’ll return not just with photographs—but with a connection to the desert that stays long after the dust fades from your boots..
