My favorite state and area. The red rocks are the most interesting, but the staircase is the most beautiful. Coral Pink Sand Dunes is too cool.

I have travelled through the area a couple of times. The picture doesn't do it justice! It needs to be seen by your own eyes. Great post, as usual.

The problem with this pic is that the land is a part of Clinton's land grab that sealed away a lot of high-grade American coal, giving a real windfall to the Riadys of Indonesia.
