I am heading to the south west part of Utah for about 4 days in April. I am shooting with a Nikon D70s. Thinking about taking an 18-55mm, 24-70 and 70-300. Some polarizers for filters. I was wondering what gnd I should take a long? I have never been to this area before and would like all the advice that I can get on the area and equipment I should take. I am not going to have the entire time to shoot as I am taking my girlfriend along so I am not sure about that. I do know I will have a full moon when I am there and was wondering what to expect.We will be staying in Hurricane so Zion is the closest park.

Not knowing what GNDs you own, why not just take the whole lot?
The choice is almost always clearer at the moment in the field rather than in advance. :wink:

I'd recommend Laurent Martres book Photographing the Southwest - Southern Utah for advice on places to photograph. As for equipment, I think it depends more on personal preference and your style of shooting than on location, as you never really know what you'll end up shooting.
