Hoodoos are those sandstone spires you see a lot in Southern Utah, especially at Bryce Canyon. Erosion has carved a unique rock formation that isn’t easily duplicated. They had just received 8 inches of fresh powder so I had to check it out last week. By the way, it was one degree (F)
The whiteness of fresh snow against the red and orange hues of eroded sandstone at Dixie National Forest’s Red Canyon in Southern Utah. Red Canyon is a mini version of nearby Bryce Canyon National Park, whose photos will appear soon.

Coyote Buttes, on the Arizona/Utah border, is a landscape that defies description. Freud would have trouble developing a diagnosis for this patient.
One look at it will put a smile on your face along with a frown. It’s situated at The Vermillion Cliffs National Monument and is well protected. At North Coyote Buttes, a trip to The Wave is only accessible for 20 daily fortunates who were victorious in the dreaded lottery put on by The Bureau of Land Management.
It’s a riot of abstractness, details, hues, textures, patterns and dizzying sandstone shapes. The Navajo Sandstone calcified dunes evolved into its current look due to erosion from winds and rains.
This is a repost from 2014..
At South Coyote Buttes, the unusual is the usual at this landscape. Grotesque shapes of rock cast by millions of years of weathering have produced a carnival of oddities that Barnum & Bailey would be proud of. I half expected a woman with a beard to come walking around the corner.
It seems as if someone put one of those curvy carnival mirrors out there to give Coyote Buttes it’s distorted look. But it is real. I think.
It’s highly believable that it took millions of years for the gods to create Coyote Buttes.
You just don’t put this together in a week.

Thunderstorms were moving through the area so I was hoping to capture some images of Bryce with lightning and or a rainbow. Didn’t happen but the light was right enabling me to get these pics.
I knew it was going to be cold but 15 degrees and wind chills below zero.
Seven inches of snow blanketed Bryce Canyon National Park on Saturday. Naturally, I made the two hour drive!
Cold temperatures and snow have arrived at Bryce Canyon National Park as witnessed on the first full day of winter.
I’m going to go with the #2 noun definition. After all, that’s what I saw early Saturday morning at Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah
From Friday’s New Moon Phase. Clouds did pass through the area but parted just enough to get these shots. Thanks Moses!
