Gigantic Rocks in Utah

Looks like the entrance to the land of the giants. It's a cloudy and kind of cold day. These rocks are on Hwy 12 along the Escalante National Park in Utah. After every turn in the road there is something exciting to see, some rocks are dark red, some are yellowish, some are grey and some are like these, all colors mixed together. It looks like someone had a lot of fun with its creation.

At The Koffeehouse

This is Hwy 12 in Utah running behind the famous Koffeehouse. I believe the whole area is part of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. The morning started out with dark clouds, then a little light came through painting the rocks in a soft red tone. There must be a creek in the distance where a bunch of trees grow between the red rocks. Really an amazing landscape.

Kiva Koffeehouse

Driving by on Hwy 12 in Utah, you don't really see the little cafe. It's tucked behind a hill among huge red mountains. They did a great job building it. Amazing how they fixed the beams for the roof to those huge tree trunks. The reflections are also interesting. I have no idea what I actually saw looking into the window and out the back window and back door. What a neat place!

Cafe Among The Rocks

After leaving the Head of the Rocks Overlook where you can see far into the land, we stopped at a little Hill with a sign, across from some beautiful red rocks. What a surprise it was to find a building tucked away behind the hill. It turned out to be this artistic Kiva Koffeehouse shown in the next picture.

Sun Ray touching the Grand Canyon

After a cold and stormy day at the Grand Canyon, just before sunset there was this strong beam of light touching the canyon for a few seconds and then it was gone again. It was an awe inspiring moment.

Time Stands Still

State Road 89 in Utah heading North. It's an amazingly beautiful landscape and it goes on for miles and miles. Soon it will be getting dark. Need to find a place for the night.

Springtime at Red Rock Canyon.

It was a rainy, dark morning at Red Rock Canyon in Utah. For a moment the sun came through the clouds forming this huge round circle. The formation of the rocks and the color is very similar to Bryce Canyon.

Death of a Tree

As sad as it is to see a tree die, even if he is already old, we can't forget that it is a part of life. On a happier note, I am sure he spread out a lot of his seeds while he was alive, and possibly he fed many birds and deer. In other words, he might have had a very fulfilled life.

Picturesque Tree

The higher elevation of Red Canyon seems to be a rough area for trees. Down below they are strong and straight and have green and thick needles. But up here it looks like water was missing. Still the trunk of the tree and the branches give a beautiful addition to the scenery, and I am thankful for that.

Still Holding On

This little tree lost all his needles and looked pretty dry but he was still holding onto life, and as he had such beautiful form I wanted to give him the honor of being captured forever in this photograph.

Red Canyon

Enjoying the view of the monuments of Red Canyon way above the tree-line in the distance. An hour ago one would not have expected this red canyon to suddenly appear on Highway 12 in Utah.

Leaving Zion Park

Below the impressive mountains there runs Hwy 9, which winds through the whole park. Lots of people were leaving towards the East Gate. It was a gorgeous sunny day and saying good bye to the mountains was not easy. But new exciting journeys were calling.

Upper Emerald Pool

It's impossible to get a good look at the Zion Park Waterfall of the Upper Emerald Pool. The canyon at this spot is so tight. That day not much water came over the rocks and the pool below was half empty. But from the broken trees one can imagine that after the winter lots of water might be rushing down the fall.

Upper Emerald Pools

This is part of the Emerald Pools at Zion Park. That's all the water it carried at that time. On the left side is the walk way with some people. And above the walkway is part of the cliff where that water is usually coming down. As the canyon is very tight with high walls, it's really dark under the trees and hard to take a picture.

Emerald Pool Close-up

This is what the rocks look like underneath the waterfall of the upper Emerald Pool in the Zion Park. People who study rocks know what all these different colors mean. And on top of all this rock there are trees growing on the steep canyon walls and little plants.

Upper Emerald Waterfall

The Waterfall inside the Zion Park Canyon was pretty dry as it had not rained for a while. I took the photo because it is like looking inside those huge mountains. This is what they are made of: crystals and salts and copper. I find that amazing. And up on the mountain there grow a bunch of trees, even some large ones. I sure hope the dirt will hold onto the mountain when the rain comes, so the trees can continue to grow.
