6:25 AM start. Coyote Buttes South. Worth it.
We went Cottonwood Cove access to main formations starting at 6:25 AM. Winter visits required early starts for good light. Multiple photography spots throughout area.
Soft overcast made for even exposure all day.
Short version: Download your map before you lose service.
