In this article we will show you different subject matter that can be easily photographed at the very Scenic Red Rock Canyon. From mountainscapes, to various wildlife, there is a lot that can be captured. By Gedalya Krycer
Red Rock Canyon offers a lot of wonders and views to behold. It once was a vast seabed millions of years ago. For thousands of years the water molded the rocks and left behind a distinct red tinge to the surrounding area, hence the name; Red Rock. People come from all over to get a glimpse of many visual delights. One favorite is seeing a sunset over the stunning Red Rock. (1) The various brush and rock formations make great silhouettes against a stunning back drop of gradated colors.

Always make sure your bring a friend along on your hike for safety. (3) However they can make great subjects against the massive rock walls and really show the epic scale. Lastly don’t forget to adventure down the Scenic Drive. (4) Once you are in the heart of Red Rock you will see
wondrous colors and forms of the mountains around you. The jagged edges and indentations make great patterns to capture through your camera. So grab a friend and pick up your camera.
