“Black Canyon of the Gunnison” Kellyjohn’s photos around Gunnison, United States (travel pics)

Preview of Kellyjohn’s blog at TravelPod. Read the full blog here: www.travelpod.com This blog preview was made by TravelPod using the TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow creator. Entry from: Gunnison, United States Entry Title: “Black Canyon of the Gunnison” Entry: “The dark and lush beauty of Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park compelled us to stray from our plan to drive to the rim only. So impressed were we, that we obtained a backcountry permit, talked about the 1.5 hr descent with a ranger, and changed into our hiking gear. About 35 minutes into it though, still struggling with fatigue due to altitude and uncomfortable with the very narrow, rocky, non-maintained trail, we turned around and went back to the car. We proceeded with the rim drive as planned and then got back on the road to Boulder. Highway 285 came highly reccommended by just about everyone we spoke to in the region, and though not as straight a course as Hwy 70 to Hwy 25, we took the scenic route and our eyes were rewarded.” Read and see more at: www.travelpod.com Photos from this trip: 1. “Black Canyon” 2. “Black Canyon Floor” 3. “Below the rim” 4. “View of canyon floor” 5. “Painted Wall at Black Canyon” 6. “Views form Hwy 285″ 7. “Views from 285″ See this TripWow and more at tripwow.tripadvisor.com

What it’s REALLY like in the Salt River Canyon of Arizona with Salt River Rafting guided whitewater raft adventures.

Are there any all-paddle white water rafting companies in Grand canyon or arizona, that operate in FEBRUARY?

I’m going to the Grand Canyon for the first time in late September. What gear should I bring?

admin — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 03:46:03 +0000

I have a Sony A200.

Lenses:
kit 18-70mm f/3.5-5.6
kit 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6
Minolta AF 50mm f/1.7
Minolta AF 28mm f/2.8
Minolta AF 35-70mm f/4 macro
Minolta AF 70-210mm f/4 macro

I think I have UV filters for all lenses, but I need to check. Any other equipment recommended for this trip? I do know I need to get a tripod.

I will likely be taking one of those preplanned day trips which includes a plane ride over the canyon, a hike, a 4WD ride, and rafting (not white water). I will also have some time to look about on my own.

I will be leaving Phoenix on Thur and driving up Route 66 to Tusayan. From there I’ll be staying at Thur, Fri, and Sat night in Grand Canyon, AZ. Friday will likely be the tour. Saturday I may drive to Sedona.
Mere Mortal: I am a complete novice at photography – I only got my camera about 6 months ago. A spare camera body is beyond me right now.
I should also note that I am flying in to Phoenix, so packing too much gear is less than ideal.
I also have a small video camera which I will also be bringing along.
