Thanks, Hawkowl. There's no way I'd do that hike with a 4x5...uggh. I was certainly dead by the end of the day carrying a backpack with my DSLR and several lenses. Although, for all I know, the weight was the same. Anyways, thanks for the comment.

Congratulations David! Great shot. I've hiked in there with 4x5 equipment and it about busted my tail!! I shot too long in the Subway and had to hike out in the dark, got temporarily disoriented (lost), but finally made it out. Was so tired & hungry, drove straight to a Mexican restaurant in Springdale and stuffed myself with food & beer. Hope you rewarded yourself with something similar! Cheers!
