so, like, how are you?

southern utah is one of the loneliest places in the country. you can stop the car in the middle of the highway, make a sandwich, take some pictures and never be a traffic danger. i read that this was the last part of the us to be mapped, it was so remote and impossible to get through. now highways crack through canyons and teter on the edge of the colorado river.


southern utah is also unbelievably unlike anywhere else, i'd wager, in the world. it is like wandering around on another planet, how else does one explain the shapes and colors the rocks have taken on?


and then suddenly you pop out in a pine tree forest, and descend back into a canyon so narrow and devoid of life, it is like watching the earth age like a bell curve.
