Upcoming expedtion to Utah

The west is a land of desert sage, pacific fog, oak hills, temperate rainforest – big sky, high mountains, and roaring rivers.  Of all this landscape, one region stands apart for  breadth of unique locations.

While the Rocky Mountains were getting lifted toward the sky, this section of the west remained in place, slowly weathering.  The shapes of this region are born of massive deposits of sediment, some of which were laid down half a billion years ago.

The area is the Colorado Plateau, and I’ll be there next week.  All that is needed is a good storm for fresh snow.  Stay tuned…
