Through the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009, Congress designated the Red Cliffs National Conservation Area (NCA) in Washington County, Utah “to conserve, protect, and enhance …the ecological, scenic, wildlife, recreational, cultural, historical, natural, educational, and scientific resources” of public lands in the NCA.
The Colorado Plateau, Great Basin Desert, and Mojave Desert overlap in Washington County. In this transition zone, unusual plant and animal species have evolved, including the dwarf bearclaw-poppy and Shivwits milk-vetch, small native plants that grow nowhere else on earth. The hot, arid Mojave Desert provides habitat for diverse wildlife, such as kit fox, Gambel’s quail, and the Mojave Desert tortoise. This native tortoise is listed under the Endangered Species Act and is at risk of extinction due to habitat loss and other factors. The newly-designated Red Mountain and Cottonwood Canyon Wilderness areas are also within this NCA. Here, hikers, backpackers, and equestrians can enjoy scenic vistas, solitude, and natural quiet, just a few miles drive from local communities.
More than 130 miles of non-motorized recreation trails (hiking, mountain biking, and equestrian trail riding) are available for public use in the NCA. The Red Cliffs Recreation Area offers camping and day use areas, in a developed site where fees are collected. All motorized vehicle travel, including Off-Highway Vehicles, is limited to designated roads in the NCA. No motorized or mechanized vehicle travel is allowed in the Red Mountain and Cottonwood Canyon Wilderness areas, without special authorization from BLM.

A small section of the cliffs along the Great Australian Bight.
The Great Australian Bight is a place of wilderness and natural beauty on the coastline of South and Western Australia. Its iconic curve has the longest line of sea cliffs in the world, stretching hundreds of kilometres and reaching up to 60 metres high.
Latrabjarg Cliffs _5014
This photograph was taken during our drive around the West Fjords in the northwest portion of Iceland. Here we visit the Latrabjarg Cliffs to observe and photograph the puffins as well as other cliff loving birds.
Volcanic cliffs where the Rio Grande cut through the eastern rim of the giant Creede Caldera, as seen from behind the cabin where we stayed last summer near Wagon Wheel Gap in southwestern Colorado.
Saint Govan's Head on the Pembrokeshire coast.
The weather had been mixed for a few days and we had ecountered a few blustery showers. On this day the winds had picked up causing a significant swell on the seas that saw dramatic waves crashing into the cliffs - a perfect opportunity to catch a few dramatic images. The sun would break through in between showers casting nice light across the cliff walls and adding contrast to the stormy skies. Keeping the camera steady in the high winds on the cliff edges was challenging to say the least!!

And when the folk there spy me,
They will all come up to me,
With ‘Here is the fiddler of Dooney!’
And dance like a wave of the sea.

The curving is a 'fish-eye' effect that comes from a modern panorama function, with the real cliff without meander during this portion. Meanders whip-crack downriver after the abris de Fontales.
Prehistoric reindeer runs existed pre prehistory in the sense that prior to archaic homo sapiens there were reindeer runs and prior to the arrival of Neanderthals there were runs and prior to the first hominids out of Africa - homo erectus - there were reindeer runs. Reindeer have been acquiring experience about their habitat loops for a very long time, so that each herd will carry spacial/emotional memories of good landscapes and directions and spacial/emotional memories of bad landscapes and directions. This section of cliff will have been memorized into their collective consciousness (maybe Jung missed his vocation as an ethologist!). Prehistoric man joined a list of animals that understood themselves as predators of reindeer. A pack of cave lions, wolves or Panthera leo spelaea would agitate the herd with a level of fear no different from that posed by men with spears. Reindeer have to run and provide a blurred target. They will know from long before hominids arrival that this strategy of galloping can go wrong if they get too close to a very long cliff. In many ways, a short quick cliff which may not have registered in the mental map of the herd has more potential as a hunting 'tool'.
The first panorama below shows the scale of the barrier.
The second panorama, below, is taken further to the right (west) and shows a passage diagonal up to the top of the plateau. This natural path would certainly serve hominids keen to get early information about the exact route taken by a herd. The prehistoric abris de Fontales is at its base. A herd leaves an odour to follow, and the idea that a long term Magdalenian habitation (or workplace) for semi nomadic peoples might be situated on an odorous diagonal may seem absurd. The text associated with the image offers arguments as to why this route would not have been favored by reindeer herds.
As a change from Gannets (I have plenty more shots of those!), here are a few views of the Cliffs at Bempton. The RSPB nature reserve runs along a stretch of coastline, a couple of miles north of Flamborough Head and between the seaside resorts of Filey and Bridlington. There are several viewing platforms, looking over the cliffs and seabird colonies. The area is also rich in wildflowers.
More shots below - the main shot above, taken when we arrived, was taken with the 14-140. All the shots in the comment were taken with the 100-300 as by then, the clouds of tiny flies made me reluctant to change lenses.
