One of the more unusual (and humorous) sand pipes in the park is named "Big Stoney". 'Nuff said.
Kodachrome Basin, surrounded by colorful cliffs, is a small, attractive park that we discovered 9 years ago. It is surrounded by colorful cliffs and boasts the world's only collection of "sand pipes," some 67 in all. Sand pipes (a.k.a. "chimney rocks") are oddly shaped rock pillars that rise 6 feet to 170 feet above the ground. Their origin is not understood, though they seem to have been extruded up through the ground.
Our campsite at Kodachrome. Just look at the color of that sky! "Impossible blue" is what the Canadians call it because it is impossible to describe the color.
Kodachrome Basin is a spectacle of massive sandstone chimneys, ever-changing from gray and white to several shades of red with the day's mood. Numerous rocks and coves offer solitude, quiet, and unique desert beauty.
More of those Harley-sized jackrabbits!
We took a side-trip through Cottonwood Canyon and part of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.
The drive through Cottonwood Canyon was spectacular.
