We've spent the past 2 days in the awesome town of Ouray, CO. I can't believe people live here! It's a small town situated between mountains, literally. You can hike up one and see the entire town. I think the theme of this whole trip for me has been amazement. I'm seeing things I've never seen in my entire life - small towns included! Drew's been keeping up with documenting our trip with my pictures here, but I thought I'd post a few highlights.

In true wedding photographer style, I freaked out when I saw this wedding venue at our hotel in Scottsdale, AZ. Maybe it doesn't look like much here, but those circle structures have lights that I'm sure would look amaaazing at night. Anyone in Scottsdale want to hire me to shoot there? :)

This shot was an accident, but I think it's pretty cool.

We saw the sunset and sunrise at the Grand Canyon. Both beautiful, but sunrise was better. See for yourself.

Sunset...

...vs. sunrise.

We had a little cliff all to ourselves.

We also hiked the Bright Angel Trail into the canyon. Between the high altitude, steep ascent and my lack of exercise, this hike kicked my butt! I was proud of myself for finishing though.

This is a watchtower over the east rim of the Grand Canyon. So cool.

Monument Valley...

Forrest Gump anyone?

In four states at once...

And my first time in Colorado, Drew's favorite state!

More to come tomorrow!
