Burr Trail, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument
One of the many amazing geologic features in Utah’s sandstone is the blind arch. An inset like this is created when upper rock layers remain intact and lower portions have fractured and fallen. Some of these blind arches can be quite large, but this one is a bit on the small side, approximately 15 or 20 feet tall.
Believe it or not, we traveled down a road in this photo. If you look closely, you can see the faint outline of the road’s edge about a quarter of the way down from the top of the frame.
love that pink rock!
ReplyDeleteNot sure that I see the road, but that must have been a trip! Who was driving?
ReplyDeleteI think I can see where the road is. That had to have been some drive.
ReplyDeleteyou are very brave, not sure I could do that.
ReplyDeleteAmazing formations!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have thought that a road was there! A road meaning "cars" and not "feet"? Amazing!

I like the red stone, something not found in Ontario but lots in PEI. The road is barely visible and it looks like a dangerous place to drive from here.
ReplyDeleteLook at all that gorgeous red sandstone! Beautiful photo - and arch.
ReplyDeleteSaw your blog on the sideline of Gyspy Farm Girl. Since I check out all "cottage" blogs I came for a visit. Signed up to follow. Your photography is just beautiful I am a want to be photography with a point and shoot Kodak camera, hah. I read farther back. So sorry about your husband's cancer. I am a survivor of sarcomas and just had a scare three weeks ago including surgery. But all is ok. I saw that you had surgery and a problem with low oxygen levels. I have that issue as well. Had a trigger finger surgery and woke up after being bagged. They said they didn't want to incubate me. Geez, it was super minor surgery. I wish the best for your husband. That is a wicked cancer. I hope things go well for him. A bit of encouragement.....my DIL's grandmother is a survivor of the same cancer and has been for 25 plus years. Yes, she is in the record books living without a pancreas. She is 91 and still dancing at weddings. HUGS
