Utah's West Desert

Northern Utah is not well known for landscape photography, I hope I can help to change that image just a little.
Sunset on the Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the photo.
Utah turns green in the spring, but the color doesn't last long, and soon this area will be brown and Currant Creek; a small trickle. This is part of Goshen Canyon and the Wasatch Range in the background.
Mesa Arch in Canyonlands, provides the frame for a stunning Utah landscape. Along the mesa to the east is another arch, named Washing Woman Arch. Below the mesa is the prominent white rim of spectacular canyons carved by the Colorado River and a breathtaking view of the Island in the Sky. Rounding out the view, the snow-capped peaks of the La Sal Mountains meet the sky at the horizon.
The Arch is right on the edge of a 500-foot cliff, part of a 1,200-foot drop into Buck Canyon.
Thank you for your comments,

One thing I love about the American Southwest. There is such an abundance of beautiful vistas to see. Taken at Arches National Park.
A Utah Railway "Martin Turn" expedites a train of coal empties, departing Provo Yard through Springville, Utah the afternoon of Oct. 10, 1976. I wish I'd had a tape recorder with me that day!
Bryce Canyon National Park, a sprawling reserve in southern Utah, is known for crimson-colored hoodoos, which are spire-shaped rock formations. The park’s main road leads past the expansive Bryce Amphitheater, a hoodoo-filled depression lying below the Rim Trail hiking path. It has overlooks at Sunrise Point, Sunset Point, Inspiration Point and Bryce Point. Prime viewing times are around sunup and sundown.

In geomorphology, a butte (/bjuːt/) is an isolated hill with steep, often vertical sides and a small, relatively flat top; buttes are smaller land-forms than mesas, plateaus, and tablelands. The word "butte" comes from a French word meaning "small hill"; its use is prevalent in the Western United States, including the southwest where "mesa" is used for the larger land-form. Because of their distinctive shapes, buttes are frequently landmarks in plains and mountainous areas. In differentiating mesas and buttes, geographers use the rule of thumb that a mesa has a top that is wider than its height, while a butte has a top that is narrower than its height.(Wikipedia)
