This is red rock country. This part of the state overwhelms you with the beauty of these red cliffs of sandstone and the many magical formations of pinnacles and buttes. There is so much history in the layers and different colors of those layers. It is very time consuming to drive along the scenic roads that go through these formations. You want to stop every few minutes to take pictures. The magical part comes with the many unique forms and shapes these rocks take. You see animals, people, faces...use your imagination. I kept seeing turtles!
Sadly, while admiring the scenery, we came around a butte and saw this. And on the other side of this butte, it only got worse. Come on Utah. Stop such defacing of your beautiful red rocks!
We will make five stops in the next 18 days. Groups of National Parks and other sights that we want to visit are nearby each of these 5 stops.
