Canyons of Southeast Utah (and part of Colorado)
The arid canyon terrain in Utah, especially near the town of Escalante, is surely unique in the world. There is a very large area containing an amazing diversity of canyons, from the frighteningly narrow Brimstone Canyon, to the sculpted delicacy of Peek-A-Boo and Spooky, to the wide meanders and rincons of Hall's Narrows. Opportunities for interesting photography abound. Below are two unusual images. The first is by me of a totally natural feature. Can you figure out what the subject is? E-mail me for the answer (wagon [at] macalester [dot] edu). The second, used with permission, was taken by Ricki Brown of Escalante in the Golden Cathedral and is a remarkable combination of light, water, rock, and humanity.
