A three mile hike on hot sand leads you to the coldest water I’ve ever dipped in. Totally worth it!

Happy #stunday ! On this Easter morn I offer up an image from the White Rocks area of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. A place of endless wonders. #landscapephotography #erosion #utah #wilderness #hiking #grandstaircase #eastcoastkin #middleofnowhere #blackandwhite

Beneath a sky of wavy white clouds we see an assemblage of weirdly eroded rock features, with their wavy structure seeming to mirror the clouds above. Behind and to the left in the middle distance stand additional sandstone hills.

A stunning scene in the White Rocks region of extreme southern Utah for #stunday. #erosion #geology #utah #grandstaircase #landscape #photography #landscapephotography #eastcoastkin #cliffs #bluesky #hiking #wilderness

Sandstone and mudstone layered pinnacles appear in the middle foreground, remnants of the full-fledged cliffs farther behind. In the foreground at right is a green spray of rabbit brush to complement the predominant earth tones and reds of the towering cliffs. The sky at top is deep blue with wispy clouds.

#Erosion #scape - Willis Creek in Grand Staircase-Escalante Natl. Mon. #canyon #landscapephotography #hiking #nationalmonument #utah #eastcoastkin #narrows #geology #stratification #grandstaircase

Outrageously shaped and extravagantly striped canyon walls are the subject of this photo. A flat-bottomed streambed leads between towering sandstone, with a reddish-tinged cliff face in the distance. The sky above is mostly cloudy with deep blue peeking through.

Melting rock - Devil's Garden, off Hole-in-the-Rock road in GSENM #RockInTuesday #blackandwhite #landscapephotography #classicmono #eastcoastkin #grandstaircase #nationalmonument #hiking #geology #erosion #escalante #utah

This image brings attention to the large rock at right which appears to be melting downwards, due to the converging streaks of sedimentation. Also begging our attention are the bulbous, mounded rocks rising above the bottom of the wash below and left. The sky above everything is graced with puffy clouds.

#waterfall #grandstaircase #escalante #utah #travel #photography #eastcoastkin #waterfallwednesday Lower Calf Creek Falls, near Boulder, Utah

This photo is from last year, and I’ve already posted a picture of this waterfall, but here’s one with a person, to give it scale. I tried to make it to Kanarra Falls on this trip, but ended up not having the time. I’ll have to come back!

It is written #scape #landscape #classicmono #highres #canyonlands #sandstone #desert #utah #grandstaircase #hiking #backofbeyond #eastcoastkin #photography #landscapephotography #hoodoos

A highly detailed black and white image of a canyon wall receding into the distance. Two flat-topped hoodoos stand in front of the canyon, with the angle of their tops mirroring the angle of the canyon rim. The sky is streaked with wispy clouds.

This rock saved its underlying pillar of sandstone from rapid deterioration. That deems it worthy of inclusion for #RockInTuesday, don't you think? #erosion #hoodoo #grandstaircase #utah #hiking #wilderness #geology #eastcoastkin #landscapephotography

$Centralized in the image is a pillar of fractured, light-colored sandstone topped off with a flat, reddish ironstone cap. To the right is a high, sloping cliff of sandstone similar in color and texture to the hoodoo. In the distance to left we see a continuation of the rugged cliffs. The sky above is deep blue with wispy clouds.$

Pocket garden: Above and behind Dance Hall Rock, GSENM #scape #landscape #blackandwhite #grandstaircase #utah #eastcoastkin #erosion #geology #landforms #hiking #wilderness #waterpocket #desert

Wavy rock layers lead upward from the bottom of the photo to the central basin, partially shrouded in shadow, in which we find growing a wealth of shrubs and small trees. Above and behind this pocket garden extend more layers of striated sandstone, rising steeply upward toward the featureless sky.

This #scape lies just below the rim at the site of the Rimrock Hoodoos (GSENM). Would have been nice to shoot it in less-intense light, but frankly I wanted all the light I could get to see my footing on the treacherous approach. #eastcoastkin #canyonlands #grandstaircase #blackandwhite #photography
