night sky over canyonlands

One of the things Mike wanted to talk to the ranger about when we stopped at the Canyonlands visitor center was the best place to take nighttime pictures. Canyonlands is a Gold-Tier International Dark Sky Park, so we wanted to (again!) try our hand at some good star pictures. Sadly for me, Henry was definitely not up for going back out to the park after dark (he was tired and cranky) so I stayed at the hotel with him while Mike took Liam and Max back our for some Canyonlands after dark. They reported that it was dark and very creepy, since they were the only ones there (I guess the night wasn't clear enough for the pros?), but they took some really excellent pictures. Check them out:
