On the morning of day eight, I once again returned to the higher elevation part of the park. The leaves were now beginning to thin, and the floor of the wash was starting to come alive with wonderful fallen leaves and mud textures. If this was my first day in the park, I’m sure I would have found some excellent compositions, but I was over one week into the trip now, and I was starting to get worn out. After a solid week of hiking, scrambling, and searching for subjects, I had a different plan for day eight, and I hope you enjoy the video.
