We continued down the road and then pulled aside after seeing these large reflection pools. The lovely way they mirrored the clouds and mountains was enough to compel us to don our boots and clomp through the not-so-great smelling sludge that stood between us and the water’s edge. Turns out we made a good choice, I love the footprints in this photo. But a month later and my boots are still caked in mud sitting in a Utah garage, oops.
When we finally made it to the lake, we spent most of our time there. We stood above on the rocks watching a coyote trot along the beach until disappearing into the distance. I pretended to be a wandering hipster with a striped blanket, we each took turns gazing out into the distance pensively just long enough for some nice photos, I changed lenses about ten times not knowing what to shoot…you get the idea đŸ˜‰
It wasn’t until the sun was almost set that we decided to climb down to the beach. All the other photo-takers were packing up and leaving as we were strolling in, but it was perfect timing for us. We got there just in time to catch this beautiful blue sky and other-worldly sand puddles. All photogenic spots call for a jumping picture.
Utah is one of the best places to fulfill all of your outdoorsy dreams. Have you guys been? Have you visited Antelope Island Park? It’s a beautiful area for all kinds of photos. I just recommend staying for sunset, and then sticking around for that beautiful blue light that follows it. Happy Travels <3
