Fall in SW Canyon Country
Lees Ferry, Colorado River, Arizona
On the far shore, you can see the remains of the old wagon road that came down to the river. The remains of the old ferry boat, steam powered, lie under water on the close shore, close to where this photo is taken. The low point in the road across the river is the ferry landing.
Owl, Owl Canyon, Antelope Canyons area, near Page, Arizona
This is the first of many images from the Slot Canyons of Antelope Canyon, part of the Navajo Nation near Page, Arizona. This owl, being some distance away, was difficult to measure; but my guess is about 18". Thank goodness for telephoto lenses.
Trail ladder, Natural Bridges National Monument, Utah
Being in a National Park / Monument, this wasn't what I expected when I read on the trail head sign that there were ladders on a particular trail. But here they were; 3 on the trail to Sipapu Bridge and several more in the Needles unit of Canyonlands National Park, Utah.
Last glow of sunlight on The Needles, from Grand Viewpoint, Island in the Sky Unit, Canyonlands National Park, Utah
Yes, this is the same Needles formation that was in prior pictures. This is taken from the northern unit of Canyonlands National Park, from a higher elevation. The white you see is rock, not snow.
