Little Wildhorse Canyon Walls, Utah
Since my mind has been drifting towards spring with this mild winter, I thought I would share this one. If you’ve ever been to the San Rafael Swell in Utah, you know how powerful the landscape is there. While on a geology trip led by a fellow Exxon Geologist, he took to this site where he used to do research. It was a long drive into the middle of nowhere to a spot near Goblin Canyon, Utah. This area was once inhabited by cultures 11,000 years ago, and petroglyphs can till be found nearby. We camped at the mouth of the canyon and I was left assaulted by thousands (would millions be exaggerating too much?) of gnats when I took this photo and until the sun went down when we could enjoy the music by the fire. If you look in the bottom right hand corner of the image you can see my friend in there for a sense of scale. The night sky was amazing, and our group slept like cowboys under the stars without tents, simply enjoying the solitude. Canyon country is something I wish everyone will have the chance to experience at least once in this lifetime.
