Places traveled include:

Zion National Park - Angel's Landing, Canyon Overlook, Emerald Pools, Riverside Walk, Weeping Rock, and the Zion Narrows.

Bryce Canyon - Bristlecone Loop, Queens Garden, Rim Trail, Sunrise Point, Sunset Point, Inspiration Point, Rainbow and Yovimpa, Natural Bridge, and Fairyland Canyon.

Video shot with a Canon 500D. Lenses: Canon 10-22, 50 f/1.4, and 70-200L f/4 IS. Time Lapse portions done with a Canon S5IS running CHDK firmware and the Ultra Intervalometer script.

This video nearly makes me cry and does bring tears to my eyes with how beautiful it is! The song and images fit perfectly. I've decided I need to spend a year or two in Utah.

I went here on my first trip to America over Christmas, it was Breathtaking. Utah is a glorious state

Great video! Is there such a thing as a bad view in Zion National Park? I'm sharing this video on
my site. Great scenes!

Hi, I'm planning a visit at Zion Park in this October .. how did you reach the rivers and canyons in your video?

I think I'll go there by Zion Shuttle service, unless I'll rent a car in Springdale. We'll come from Europe and we think we'll fly to California and then go to Zion in a way ..

[LiquidTurbo]

Outstanding, awesome, video! What kind of tripod did you use to film ?

This is beautiful and diverse footage! I've created a video response of a time lapse that I made during a winter visit to Zion National Park.

@canadakicks Took the words out of my mouth. It's a dream of mine to move out west. There are no more wild spaces where I live.
