How about this 8 point buck I shot in my front yard!!

Since I was a young boy in scouts, I have enjoyed camping, hiking and many other adventures in pursuit of my passion in photography. Photography provides a means to visually express my experiences and display my enthusiasm as a means of connecting with other people.
To create an image of an outdoor experience for people to view, is an awesome, rewarding opportunity. Creating photographs is a task that takes patience, persistence and practice. This contributes to a memorable representation of the experience.

Bell Canyon is a welcomed outdoor haven from the sprawling and often smoggy Salt Lake Valley. The canyon is only 20 minutes from downtown Salt Lake City, but it's a world away once you get on the trail. There are trailheads on Wasatch Boulevard and off 9400 South. You can see the canyon on this map (just zoom in on Utah).

There are a variety of activities to do in Bell Canyon, during all seasons of the year. Bell Canyon is a watershed area so no Dogs are allowed, and yes they do patrol this.
