The name of this icon in Arches National Park in Utah is Delicate Arch, but my nickname for it seems more appropriate. There are an amazing number of arches in the park, and this one, also known as "the Chaps" and "the Schoolmarm's Bloomers" by local cowboys, is a bit of a hike to get to, but worth it. Interestingly, I took several photos of this structure, including some devoid of people in the frame, but this lone hiker beneath the sandstone archway lends scale to the picture without being a distraction and is my favorite of the set.

Smack dab in the middle of Colorado, in the Pike-San Isabel National Forest and near Aspen Ridge, is an entire forest of tall, mature aspens. Colorado is famed for its golden fall foliage due to this quintessential tree, creating a spectacle unlike few other places in the country.
These tress were on Bassam Ridge in the mountains east of Nathrop and north of the famed Aspen Ridge. The state is also known for its warm sunny days and bright blue skies scattered throughout autumn, making any outing worth its weight in gold.

South of Summerlin and the Las Vegas Valley sits the well-known Red Rock Canyon, which is famous for bright red hues and multi-colored mountains around its valley. Desert wildfires occasionally sweep through the area and these burnt yucca plants caught my attention during one of my first jaunts around the canyon loop.
It's quite a contrast to my usual nature photos, which usually consist of vivid flowers or colorful landscapes, but any snapshot that draws my eyes becomes a favorite. One can easily envision what these vibrant desert plants looked like before the flames arrived.

Utah is the envy of many states in its fabulous five National Parks, but one of its state parks can be just as breathtaking. Dead Horse Point State Park consists of dramatic overlooks of the Colorado River and Canyonlands National Park at an elevation of nearly 6,000 feet. During our last visit, this bunch of desert princesplumes provided a beautiful contrast to the browns, reds, grays and light haze of the vast canyon below. The view was remarkable.
