Pausing to enjoy a Mediterranean vista. We tried to get down to the beach below here, making a pretty hairy downlimb most of the way, but the last 50 feet were too technical to attempt unroped.
Later, we were able to access some of these coves we couldn't get to from above by scrambling along the rocks at the cliffs' bases.
Located on the Colorado Plateau in northern Arizona, Vermilion Cliffs National Monument includes the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness. The Monument borders Kaibab National Forest to the west and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area to the east.
This remote and unspoiled, 280,000-acre Monument is a geologic treasure, containing a variety of diverse landscapes from the Paria Plateau, Vermilion Cliffs, Coyote Buttes, and Paria Canyon. Elevations range from 3,100 to 7,100 feet.
Visitors will enjoy scenic views of towering cliffs and deep canyons. Paria Canyon offers an outstanding three to five day wilderness backpacking experience. The colorful swirls of cross-bedded sandstone in Coyote Buttes are an international hiking destination. There are also opportunities to view wildlife, including California condors. There are two developed campgrounds just outside the Monument: Stateline and White House. Dispersed camping is allowed outside the wilderness area in previously disturbed areas.
A permit is required for hiking in Coyote Buttes North (the Wave), Coyote Buttes South, and for overnight trips within Paria Canyon.

After several hours of observation, I began to acquire little tidbits of knowledge about some of this swallow colony's life history, and its adventures.
Typical Cliff Swallow flight includes a fair amount of gliding; for that reason, they are easier to photograph in flight than Barn Swallows, whose flight is extremely erratic and difficult to follow up close, and whose gliding flight is much more limited, and less predictable.
He does this pretty much all the time. A fun sequence photo of a "Rodeo 540" dive, shot hand-held and comped/saturated using GIMP. My camera ran out of memory on the splash shot, and then I accidentally deleted it.
The cliff lift at Shanklin, built in 1958 to replace the WWII bomb damaged original. Recently refurbished, the lift carries people 34 metres from the Esplanade to the top of the cliff..... Only taking cash as payment, I walked the zig zag path.....
Otter Cliff is a cliff in Acadia National Park, which is famous on the post cards of the park. Though there is no otter nearby.
The hard chalk cliffs at Bempton rise are relatively resistant to erosion and offer lots of sheltered headlands and crevices for nesting birds. The cliffs run about 10 km from Flamborough Head north towards Filey and are over 100 metres (330 ft) high at points.
The Cliffs are 702 feet high at the highest point and range for nearly 5 miles over the Atlantic Ocean.
From the Cliffs one can see the Aran Islands, Galway Bay, as well as The Twelve Pins, the Maum Turk Mountains in Connemara and Loop Head to the South.
They are home to one of the major colonies of cliff nesting seabirds in Ireland. The area was designated as a Special Protection Area (SPA) for Birds under the EU Birds Directive in 1986 and as a Refuge for Fauna in 1988.
