Lots of the cliffs look similar to this one where it appears that a large section of rock must have fallen into the ocean in one go. This can make you feel slightly nervous as the boat goes in under the rock ledges. However the presence of limestone stalitites, showing that the cliffs have been exposed for a long time, provides some comfort.
Cedar Cliff Mountain, taken from the backporch of one of our homeowner's custom home. What a wonderful view from their deck. During the winter when the leaves have fallen, they can also see Bear Lake. Barbara and I stopped by to visit with them and we all went to the Lake Club for "Italian Night" dinner. Barbara is full Italian and I knew she would enjoy the special theme night.
I think this is limestone forming the cliffs of Deadhorse Gulch, the little tributary canyon of Glenwood Canyon where the Hanging Lake Trail runs. One of these days, I'm going to go back up there with a good camera, though the place is always absurdly busy when the weather's nice. I'll probably have to wait for another winter trip to Colorado.

Baodingshan Cliff Carvings, Mount Baoding (Precious Summit), Chongqing, China, 26 April 2009. Created in 1174-1252 under the supervision of Zhao Zhi-feng, an extensive series of Dazu rock carvings (over 6,000) and cave temples reflect a variety of Buddhist doctrines, Confucian ethical and Taoist theories in the Song Dynasty. The remoteness and inaccessibility of this site meant it was unknown to the outside world until the 1980’s and luckily it escaped the destruction of the Cultural Revolution when so many religious and cultural sites were destroyed.
Nesting site on rocky bluff below Abiquiu Dam along the Rio Chama, NM. 28 Aug 2013. (4611)
Because they so often use bridges as nesting sites, it's notable to find one that is "natural."
Cliffs, Morning Light. Zion National Park, Utah. October 22, 2012. © Copyright 2013 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Immense cliffs in the Pine Creek Canyon area of Zion National Park.
This was an interesting morning, as much for its place in the sequence of events on this trip to photograph in Utah as for the actual photographic opportunities. I have noticed, and other photographers I've spoken with about this seem to agree to at least some extent, that there is sometimes a sort of "getting up to speed" element to certain types of shooting when you are getting started. I recall mentioning this to one photographer friend in the context of a discussion about the idea that you should always have a clear vision for your photograph before you make it - a theoretical concept that most photographers I know acknowledge to be unrealistic and perhaps even a bad idea. (This is not to say that thinking about what your "capture" may look like as a photograph is unimportant, but rather an acknowledgement that things are often more complex than the simplistic notion suggests and that sometimes we, quite honestly, don't really know for sure which images will work or why.) When the idea of waiting for a really good image before making a photograph came up, I shared the observation that I sometimes have to "prime the pump" but simply starting to make some photographs, even if I'm not convinced that the first ones will be great. (One friend then referred to this as "photographic foreplay." ;-)
The previous day we had driven to St. George, Utah from the San Francisco Bay Area - a LONG drive - and finally stumbled into a motel in St. George close to midnight. (As I recall, the motel advertised something like "The Cheapest Rooms in St. George!") Up in the morning for precisely the free breakfast that you might expect in such a place - I resisted and instead walked across the street to a Starbucks - we left early and headed into Zion. As I recall we did not spend much, if any, time in Zion Canyon, and we were soon heading up the Mount Carmel highway, still having made no photographs. Finally, as we turned a few switchbacks on the initial climb, we saw some interesting light on the cliffs across the canyon, pulled over, got our cameras and lenses and tripods and made some photographs. I'm not sure that any of them were exactly remarkable, but with this first "shoot" (priming the pump) our work was now underway.

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.
