Cockscomb Study (Monochrome)

The Cockscomb (or eastern edge of the Kaibab Uplift) running parallel to Cottonwood Canyon road in southern Utah is a wonderous geologic formation of so many unique colors and textures.

 

Stripping away the color in this image, I found that the variety of textures, from the thin clouds overhead, through the geologic sandstone formation, into the desert flora, create a visually stunning scene.

 

Utah's 'Mighty 5' National Parks and the Grand Canyon are definitely the attention grabbers in this region, but do yourself a favor and explore the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. You'll be glad you did!
