ARIZONA the USA

Arizona is a favorite of many landscape photographers due to its amazing landscapes and highly-recognizable locations. The desert landscapes that are waiting to be photographed in Arizona are not an option in most parts of the U.S., but Arizona also has more to offer than just desert scenes. This presentation show many of the top destinations in the state for landscape photography.

THE GRAND CANYON The Grand Canyon is one of the most recognizable landscapes in the United States, and the world for that matter. Grand Canyon National Park is a huge area that could be explored and photographed seemingly forever. The south rim is the most popular area for tourists, partly because it is accessible year round. The north rim is also well worth visiting, although it can take a little more effort and planning. For all the details related to photographing the Grand Canyon please see our article, The Photographer’s Guide to the Grand Canyon.

HAVASU FALLS Just west of the Grand Canyon, about a 4 hour drive from the south rim, is beautiful Havasu Falls. It lies on the Havasupai Indian Reservation and is not easily accessible. There are no roads leading to the area and it requires about a 10-mile hike each way. The blue-green water is worth the effort for those who plan ahead and make the trek.

HORSESHOE BEND Just north of the Grand Canyon is a popular spot for photographers, Horseshoe Bend. From this location near Page, Arizona you can get beautiful photos of the Colorado River from a dramatic perspective. There is a parking area along highway 89 and from the parking lot you will have a .75 mile hike to reach the viewpoint. Bring your wide angle lens to fit the entire scene in the frame, or create a panorama by stitching multiple photos. Horseshoe Bend is well worth the visit if you are in the area of the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, or Antelope Canyon. From the view point you will be facing west, making nice sunset photos a possibility. The lack of a guard rail makes it easier to get great photos, but be careful on the uneven rocks near the edge.

VERMILION CLIFFS NATIONAL MONUMENT Located in northern Arizona is Vermilion Cliffs National Monument. The area includes Coyote Buttes and The Wave, a popular spot for landscape photographers. A permit is required to hike in Coyote Buttes, and the permits are currently limited to only 20 people per day. You can get information about the permits and permit lottery here.

SAGUARO NATIONAL PARK If you want to photograph the cacti of Arizona, Saguaro National Park is an excellent place to do it. At this park near Tucson in southern Arizona you can photograph the largest Cacti in the United States. The park consists of two different districts, one on each side of Tucson. The Tuscon Mount District to the west of Tucson is the best place to photograph the cacti.
