Zion National Park 8K

Our take

Most folks see Zion in summer crowds. We shot it in fall, when the canyon goes gold and the shuttle lines thin out, and we'd argue it is the better season by a mile. If you watch one of our desert films, make it this one.

ZION is the culmination of nearly a month spent exploring Zion National Park during peak fall color. Exquisitely carved by the Virgin River over millions of years, Zion Canyon is one of the most remarkable places on earth. But don’t stop there! This park has so much more to offer outside of the main canyon. Golden meadows, sweeping vistas, red rock mountains, towering white temples, and powerful ancient rivers comprise this incredible treasure. Filmed primarily in UHD 8K.

We chose to capture this film in autumn to showcase the rich and little known fall color of Zion National Park. Fall is also a time when visitation dies down from peak summer months and one can find more solace in the park.
