Today's drive started through the Dixie National Forest Red Canyon area.
We stayed at Kodachrome Basin State Park, a lesser-known but remarkably beautiful place. It's the only place in the world that has these crazy spires formed out of minerals thought to have been introduced through geysers. It also has the advantage of being 3000' lower that Bryce Canyon National Park, which had snow.
This "Chimney Rock" was featured in National Geographic magazine in the 40's, and is the reason the area was named Kodachrome, after old Kodak colour film.
Grosvener Arch was 10 miles out of the park... but on a bumpy dirt road (don't worry, Dad, the truck is fine), so we were the only ones there.
Here's us at the arch!
