While many people think of the desert as dusty and desolate, there\u2019s natural beauty if you look closely enough. The desert has something for everyone, with colorful landscapes to intriguing rock formations.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_78417\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-78417\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-78417\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Desert-Locations-Buckskin-Gulch-.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Desert-Locations-Buckskin-Gulch-.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Desert-Locations-Buckskin-Gulch--200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Desert-Locations-Buckskin-Gulch--683x1024.jpg 683w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-78417\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Buckskin Gulch.

If you get stuck, help can take time to get to you. Always bring multiple days of food and water, tell people where you\u2019re going, and have a map handy. Also, watch out for snakes.<\/p>\n<h3>Research the Driving Route<\/h3>\n<p>If reports say you need 4&#215;4 and high clearance, don\u2019t try to push your luck with a non-off-road vehicle. Getting a tow truck in the desert is immensely difficult.<\/p>\n<h3>Plan Your Shots<\/h3>\n<p>Photographing the desert can be tricky. It\u2019s different from mountains or oceans, and figuring out compositions take time. Try to spend part of the day planning your shots, so you\u2019re not frantically running around as golden and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/how-to-shoot-blue-hour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blue hour<\/a> approaches.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_78422\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-78422\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-78422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Desert-Locations-Kofa-Wildlife-Refuge-3433.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"614\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Desert-Locations-Kofa-Wildlife-Refuge-3433.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Desert-Locations-Kofa-Wildlife-Refuge-3433-300x184.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-78422\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kofa Wildlife Refuge. Photo by Alec Sills-Trausch.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Stay Hydrated<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re not used to spending time in the desert, you still need to drink water whether or not it feels warm. Aim to drink a gallon a day to prevent dehydration and maximize your enjoyment.<\/p>\n<h3>Know the Weather<\/h3>\n<p>It will get cold. It\u2019s not going to freeze over, but temperatures in the 40s are standard. The last thing you want is the spend the night uncomfortable.<\/p>\n<h3>Look for Bodies of Water<\/h3>\n<p>Water is also crucial for non-consumption as it can create a perfect reflection opportunity. It\u2019s not that common so keep your eyes out for small pools as you hike around. Because these aren\u2019t big lakes or ponds, you\u2019ll likely have to lie down on the ground and use a wide-angle lens to capture the scene. Don\u2019t worry \u2014 it\u2019ll make for a great story afterward!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_78418\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-78418\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-78418\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Desert-Locations-Para-Townsite-Grand-Staircase-Escalante-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Desert-Locations-Para-Townsite-Grand-Staircase-Escalante-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Desert-Locations-Para-Townsite-Grand-Staircase-Escalante-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Desert-Locations-Para-Townsite-Grand-Staircase-Escalante-2-683x1024.jpg 683w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-78418\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Para Townsite Grand Staircase Escalante.

Having the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/l\/Photography\/Lenses\/SLR-Lenses?sel=Zoom-Focal-Length_16-hyphen-35mm\">ability to go wide<\/a>\u00a0and capture a stunning desert scene can\u2019t be beat. It also lets you\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/l\/Photography\/Lenses\/Mirrorless-Lenses?sel=Lens-Type_Wide-Angle\">get up close and personal<\/a>\u00a0with a cactus, creating a stirring photo for your audience.<\/p>\n<h3>70-200mm (f\/2.8 or f\/4) Lens<\/h3>\n<p>While getting the entire landscape in view is terrific,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/l\/Photography\/Lenses\/Mirrorless-Lenses?sel=Lens-Type_Wide-Angle_Telephoto|Zoom-Focal-Length_70-hyphen-200mm\">being able to zoom in<\/a>\u00a0on the unique textures of the desert is unlike anything you\u2019ll ever see.

Due to the irregularities of cacti positions,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/l\/Photography\/Tripods-and-Supports\/Tripods\">having your camera on a tripod<\/a>\u00a0can be a lifesaver for your arms and body. In addition, blue hour and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/5-best-tripods-for-astrophotography-time-lapse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">astrophotography<\/a> in the desert can be some of the best conditions you\u2019ll ever experience.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_78421\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-78421\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-78421\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Grand-canyon-guide-9975-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Grand-canyon-guide-9975-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Grand-canyon-guide-9975-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Grand-canyon-guide-9975-1-683x1024.jpg 683w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-78421\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Grand Canyon.

The textures and scale will blow your mind and add some pizzazz to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/alecoutside\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">photography portfolio<\/a>. Most desert locations are flyable except for Wildlife Refuges and State and National Parks.<\/p>\n<h3>GoPro<\/h3>\n<p>The sunsets out west are breathtaking. While you\u2019re out shooting, put the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/gphero10.html\">GoPro into timelapse mode<\/a>\u00a0and let it capture the entire evening. For me, I love looking back and watching the sunset unfold and the sky erupt. Additionally, it can also work as your wide-angle lens, allowing you to navigate your small camera into areas a normal DLSR or mirrorless camera wouldn\u2019t be able to fit.<\/p>\n<h3>Lens Cleaning Kit<\/h3>\n<p>As you can imagine, dust can be a massive problem in the desert. Make sure to have a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/l\/?searchinfo=lens%20cleaning%20kit&amp;sel=Item-Condition_New-Items\">dependable cleaning kit<\/a>\u00a0to keep your lens in tip-top shape.
