An Amazing Half Hour

In the span of 30 minutes, the full moon was rising from the East while the sun was setting to the West.

A full moon rises above the sandstone rock formations in the Kolob Terrace section of Zion National Park, Utah.

Images Of The Grand Canyon Minus The Canyon

There’s a lot more to Grand Canyon National Park and surrounding area than just the canyon. Wildflowers, Aspen tree and Ponderosa Pine forests make up much of the remaining landscape in Northern Arizona.

Wildflowers Persist

It’s almost September but wildflowers are remaining relevant in Northern Arizona’s Kaibab National Forest.

Who Knew

I’ve lived in the Zion National Park area for the last 16 years but until recently, did not know these 2 interesting artifacts existed nearby. Less than an hours drive are some dinosaur tracks and Native American Indian rock art know as pictographs. Pictographs are painted onto the rock and petroglyphs are carved into the sandstone.

The figure of a man is on the right and on the left is a small Desert Bighorn Sheep.

The dinosaur that made these tracks is the Dilophosaurus which resided in this area about 190 million years ago during the Jurassic Period.

Foggy And Wet Kaibab

It rained and rained some more at Northern Arizona’s Kaibab National Forest.

Grand Canyon Drama

Recent monsoons have passed through Grand Canyon National Park the last 5 weeks, bringing much-needed rain and angry skies. Click on image for a larger view.

The Caineville Badlands

These are near Factory Butte badlands and not as stark but do have appeal. I need to explore this area more.

The Mineral rich badlands of Caineville Butte is composed of Mancos Shale while sulfur and gypsum deposits provide the yellow colort during erosion and weathering over millions of years.
