Maybe life is all about twirling under one of those midnight skies, cutting a swathe through the breeze and gently closing your eyes.”― Sanober Khan
Spent an evening walking amount the strange but beautiful toadstool hoodos in the eponymous park. Near Kanab, UT
KANAB UTAH
An easy slot to access. While we were there, we had to share the canyon with a few head of cattle.
Last photo from this road. Thanks for looking at all these shots.
Heading into Bryce in the next set of photos! :D
Originally a utility road through Cottonwood Canyon, it's currently a scenic AWD road that is only passable when dry.
Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
Kanab Creek begins to the north on the Pausagunt Plateau, 100 miles from its confluence with the Colorado. Kanab is an anglicized form of the Southern Paiute word for “willow”. In 1872, Powell declared his second expedition over at Kanab Creek. The members of the expedition hiked out of the canyon from the Colorado River, assisted by packmule train, with much of the trip’s supplies to the town of Kanab. Powell may have decided to abruptly end the expedition out of concern for rising flood waters, or the possibility of a confrontation with the Native American bands downstream. Additionally, Powell’s memories and the data collected from his 1869 expedition, as well as his knowledge of the Wheeler Expedition’s lower canyon traverse to Diamond Creek in 1871; undoubtedly influenced his decision to end the trip.
My prayers are with the people who are on the path of hurricane Irma.
Many thanks to all those who view, fav or comment my pictures. I very much appreciate it.
Spent the weekend in the beautiful Kanab Utah during the Kanab Utah hot air balloon festival. Their was a lot of cool balloons, a street street fair, with bands and food, and even a paper lantern lighting. Was great, I want to make it an annual happening for me.

After reaching the top of the hill in my last photo, everything changed dramatically.
In full respect of the differences, I am starting a new series of photos instead of continuing with "Scenes of Cottonwood Canyon Road."

Light breaks through a heavy overcast day on a cold wintery day adding a sweet shine to accent the dominate, picturesque hoodoo that welcomes hikers into the Paria Rimrock area.

This strip of southern Utah and northern Arizona has so many special places. Toadstool Hoodoos are on a plateau a short hike from the highway.
A wall of the Navajo Sandstone Formation contrasted with a bold blue sky and bright white Cumulus clouds. A nice Autumn day in Southern Utah.
Privileged to have gained access to this prestigious trail by virtue of the Kanab daily permit lottery. A hazardous weather forecast, deeming the trail potentially unreachable, saw permit lottery applicants at an annual low.
Via Wikipedia: Grosvenor Arch is a unique sandstone double arch located within Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in southern Kane County, Utah, United States. It is named to honor Gilbert Hovey Grosvenor (1875–1966), a president of the National Geographic Society, publishers of the National Geographic Magazine.
Located in northern Kane County, it is close to and south of Kodachrome Basin State Park and is accessed from the north or south via Road 400, a dirt road that traverses Cottonwood Canyon in the western portion of the national monument.

This took me far longer to edit than I would have ever imagined. I don't even think I want to admit just how long it took...... Apparently there is an incredible amount of air traffic to the west of Kanab Utah.
I left Kanab heading west and just pulled off the road, drove out some completely random roads, parked on a corner and started shooting. I was there for almost 3 hours and not one car drove down this road. I definitely didn't expect to get that lucky when I was setting it up!! The small "smudge" in the bottom left was a rogue cloud band. I thought about removing it but it tells a little more of the story. :)

This was a road that I found randomly on Google maps. We planned to take it, and did take it, the day that we left Page, AZ to go to Bryce Canyon. I took a ton of photos like this along the way that I'll be sharing over the next few days.
