Another Trip To The Clay Beds

Had to bring another photography friend to the clay beds at Coyote Buttes. Lian had never seen anything quite like this place.

 

 

 

 

 

Colorful Clay Beds

Made another trip last week to one of my favorite places. Clay beds in the Coyote Buttes area of Northern Arizona. Colors are a product of minerals leeching through the Chinle Layer, mostly made of clay.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument

The monument is in good health as we caught this landscape at sundown and moonrise.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Colorful Clay Beds

Once again I had the opportunity to visit one of my favorite places in the Coyote Buttes of Vermilion Cliffs National Monument in Northern Arizona.  These clay beds get their color from minerals leeching through the porous Chinle Clay Bed layer.
