Thanks, Tony for the info as this will help in my planning. I'll be blocking out the 1st week of August on my calendar and I'll try to leave a week on both sides flexible for changes just in case, if possible.

By the time August comes around my goal is to have a fairly good idea as to where to go and when. I'm a firm believer in researching an area on the web prior to going there as I've found that a tremendous amount of wasted "thrashing around" time can be avoided. I'll check out photo.net for some prior posts.

We visited Arches and Canyonlands for a week last year and through similar research I had assembled a printout of all the "must do" sites and many "lesser known" sites complete with optimum times and sun exposure data for photo ops. This really made the trip for us as we knew exactly where to go at a particular time of day for the best light.

Thanks again, and we're looking forward to traveling to the "Center of the Universe"!
