It’s in Southern Utah and only appreciated from above. It was 107 degrees when I filmed this and there was no shade as nothing grows in this area.

What Is Bentonite?
It is a natural clay or ash that is produced from volcanoes. People have used it as a health aid for detoxification. When ingested, it helps to draw out the toxins that are present in your body. It aslo has many other benefits but definitely not FDA approved.
HOWEVER, I didn’t make a trip to a remote area of Utah for health benefits. From ground level you see layers of different colors present but it’s from above where you are amazed and flabbergasted. This is the reason why I bought a drone. The lines of color are formed when different minerals of different colors seep through the clay.
See companion video later today.
On some of these images, you’ll see me and my shadow. I look rather insignificant in this landscape.
YELLOW ROCK REVISITED
A few photos from last week’s trip to Yellow Rock at the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, Utah.
Hidden Zion
There’s a place in Zion National Park that few people venture. It is accessed along the Chinle Trail that is not well-known. Over the years that I’ve hiked the trail, I’ve noticed some clay beds a few hundred yards off the beaten path but didn’t think they presented much of a photo op. I finally decided to check it out and I’m glad I did!
Peak Color At Kaibab National Forest
This national forest in Northern Arizona straddles the Grand Canyon. There would be very little color if the Aspens didn’t flourish here.
My Somewhat Secret Spot
My friend and fellow WP blogger Kelly Guymon and I visited the Coyote Buttes area Sunday along the Arizona/Utah border, home of The Wave and other geological anomalies. One spot we checked out were some colorful clay beds that not many people know about. They are hidden. But when we got to the secluded trail head, their was a family camping there and I felt like I needed to let them in on my secret place because we had to park next to their campsite. They followed us and I know they were thrilled with this place as it is quite a place to photograph. These clay beds are very colorful and have some great definition. It is unspoiled and hopefully will stay that way. Don’t ask me for directions. It is in the Vermilion Cliffs National Recreation Area where you can really get lost.

The Colorful People Of Peru
Peru has its amazing landscapes and lost cities but I was really struck by the people. The young, old and in between. All photos by Dawn2Dawn Photography.
