Great Photography Spots In Vermillion Cliffs National Monument

Fantastic lunar landscape of the Wave, in the Vermillion Cliffs National Monument, located in both Utah and Arizona. Story & Photography by Jerry Ginsberg. Although the four states that comprise the great Southwest (New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and Utah) contain a combined total of thirteen national parks, this vast area has so much spectacular natural beauty that all of it could not possibly be contained within these parks.

The Usual Logistics. Staying in any one of the many motels in Page, AZ or Kanab, UT will be convenient. Both towns cater to tourism and have a wide variety of restaurants and eateries. Kanab is convenient to Zion National Park and is just fine, but my personal preference is Page, since it has several other photo-worthy spots right on the edges of town. While theVermillion Cliffs National Monument is officially located entirely in Arizona, trails may occasionally bring one's feet across the state line into Utah. Jerry Ginsberg is a long-time nature and travel photographer whose landscape and travel images have graced the covers and covers of hundreds of books, magazines and travel catalogs. He is the only person to have photographed each and every one of America's National Parks with medium format cameras.
