At the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument in Southern Utah. This is an area that the Trump administration is reducing to half its original size. You can’t mess with this area and I believe this area is not being affected.

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.
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.
Utah’s Colorful Caineville Mesa
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!
Some More Surreal Clay Bed Images
The location for these clay beds is very close to my formerly somewhat secret spot of colorful clay beds.
