A shot taken in the Red Canyon area of southern Utah. The terrain and the mystical nature of this area is really interesting.
The Grand Circle is comprised of six National Parks: Arches, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, Mesa Verde, and Zion.
Just outside of Canyonlands National Park lies a small state park that locals of nearby Moab love, and that virtually anywhere outside of the area remains unknown. While Dead Horse Point State Park is unspoken of in the rest of the world, locals frequently flock to the point to see views that rival the Grand Canyon high above the Colorado River as it winds its way into Canyonlands National Park.
This is the iconic arch at Arches National Park, Utah. While it is the most famous arch, it is only marginally more impressive than the other spectacular views throughout the park.
Not a single tourist was standing near me at this vantage point. They all went to the arch itself.
Canyonlands National Park is so huge that it absolutely boggles the mind. One would need several days exploring there to even begin to scratch the surface.

Commonly known as the little cousin of Monument Valley in northern Arizona, Valley of the Gods rests just to the north only a few miles up Highway 163 from the town of Mexican Hat, Utah just across the border. A 17 mile dirt road winds its way beginning at the southern entrance along Highway 163 and ending at its western entrance along Highway 261.
