We were advised to visit this state park which is nearby Bryce Canyon.
A meringue of red rock spires that changes its hue as the sun moves across Utah's arid landscape. This state park owes its name to a group of National Georgraphic Society visitors in 1948. They were so struck by the vivid palette that they suggested it be named inn honour of the pioneering colour film.
While the colours did not impress us as much as the NGS visitors, we were impressed with the rock formations with their phallic symbols. Also, the campground was one of the very few which had hot showers. National parks in the US do not have showers as a general rule, let alone hot ones. We did strike a few with a fee to pay, but these are few and far between. And no gas barbecues which we Australian campers take for granted. The US campers are a rugged lot but they need firewood to light their wood-fuelled, environmentally less friendly barbecues.
This spire seemed to have encompassed what looks like a piece of wood.
This seemed a bit of a mini Uluru look-alike.
And the magical spires again in the later afternnon shadowed light.
