Southwest USA Travel Shoot 2022

Two weeks, 6 states, 7 national parks / preserves, 12.6K images, nearly 7500 kms driven, and my first return to travel shooting on the road in the U.S. since March 2020. 

From the Grand Canyon to the California coast, from hiking in Arches to camping in Joshua Tree, from searching out desert art installations to classing it up at the Beverly Hills Hotel ... can I just say how much I've missed this? 

My sincerest thanks to everyone who made this series of travel shoots an epic success. Now, where to next? I'm thinking I could use some recommendations as I'll be camped out in the edit suite for the next few months to continue work on the documentary ... 

Are you planning any travel in 2022?

Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center in Montana

Detailing their incredible expedition, the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center in Great Falls, Montana is a beautiful museum overlooking the Missouri River. Surrounded by scenic trails, the museum does a great job of immersing you in the history of the expedition, specifically the Great Falls Portage that took place here in 1805. 

The Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail is something that I've inadvertently explored a lot of in pieces. From the Gateway Arch in St. Louis to remote spots like Fort Benton to the Columbia River Gorge where Lewis and Clark finally reached the Pacific, the scale of their journey is even more amazing when you have context for how varied these landscapes are. The Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center is well worth exploring on your next trip to Great Falls, Montana.
