Needles District of Canyonlands National Park, Utah

Sunset light hits a log overlooking Squaw Flats in The Needles District of Canyonlands National Park, Utah.

Having never been to The Needles District of Canyonlands National Park prior to my most recent road trip, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect or which hikes I should ever do. I was told to hike The Joint, but by the time I got there it was a little late to start a hike of that length. I eventually settled on the Big Spring Canyon/Squaw Flats Loop and I neared the end of the hike as the day was beginning to wind down. I sat here for probably an hour or so basking in absolute silence and gazing at such incredible scenery surrounding me in 360 degrees. This is definitely a place I’ll be getting back to in the near future.

Free Roaming Photography, Photography by Mike Cavaroc, is my portfolio and vision of the natural world. As a nature and wildlife photographer, I am striving to reach the angles of landscapes that haven't been documented before as well as finding the dramatic nature of wildlife in its natural state. As a result, every animal photographed on this website was done so in its wild and natural habitat.

Based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, I thoroughly explore the wonders of Grand Teton National Park and its surrounding areas, including the Gros Ventre Wilderness, Yellowstone National Park and much more.
