Gate's Pass - Tucson, Arizona Nature Photography
When getting ready for a shoot, whether it's for photography or film, I love searching for a beautiful setting. Arizona does not lack beauty from the peculiar cacti, to the snowy mountaintops, to the red rocks, to the pink and purple sunsets. Often on plane rides, when landing back in Arizona I will hear other passengers comment on the continuous brown ugly dirt stretching out beneath us. But, it makes me smile, knowing they'll soon be surprised by the desert's secrets.
Gate's Pass isn't necessarily a secret, especially if you are from Tucson, but in case you haven't been... Go! It's a great place to watch all the colors of an Arizonan sunset cast their light on spiky desert succulents. But maybe drive up before the sun gets too low in the sky or else you will be blinded by bright rays as you wind your way through the twisty roads!
