There are moments when the trail gives you exactly what you need. We took Southern approach to sandstone teepee area with 5 people. Started around 6:00 AM when winter visits required early starts for good light. The trail multiple photography spots throughout area. Plan for entire day without refill options. The boring prep stuff matters.
