Reflection Canyon is in Utah. It’s part of Lake Powell. This is the third in this series.
There are two ways to get to Reflection Canyon. The first is by boat, and the second is by a 16-mile round trip trudge on unmarked trail.
I went by boat on an Action Photo excursion. There were six of us plus two guides.
By boat you need to scramble up 400-500 feet in a half-mile with a 40-50 pound pack. That’s better than going 16 mile round trip over land with an even heaver pack because you need more water.
There are a couple thin ridges, about a foot wide, where you do not want to fall. Fortunately you are leaning into a rock wall, with lots of hand holds so no one had a difficult time.
Getting the Shot
My previous two posts were of the Milky Way over the canyon and sunrise over the canyon from the top. This series is from the water, by boat.
The above image is the boat that took us to reflection canyon in the afternoon than picked up us the next morning.
In the morning the boat also went around the aptly named reflection canyon for the images on this page.
