Geologic Insanity
These are from the White Pocket, a remote geologic wonder which is located about 25 miles from Page, Arizona - as the crow flies. Getting there, however, is about a 2 hour drive on account of the canyons that are in the way (which make it about a 60 mile drive) and the SANDY road. The last ten miles of the drive are through sand...deep sand. So deep that the under carriage of your vehicle may be plowing through it - it sucks. The scenery on the drive is boring, there is very little hint of what awaits you when you get there. After about an hour of crapping your drawers, worrying that you're going to get stuck in the middle of nowhere; you get out and see this amazing array of colors and shapes. It looks like some nutty pastry chef got carried away with the icing - red, yellow, white and gray swirls of sandstone all over the place. I went with a friend for a sunset and sunrise shoot, with a very peaceful, if somewhat cold (16 degrees) night of camping. It's an amazing place.
