The grandeur of these natural formations is phenomenal and defies words to describe them.

Each image is breathtaking but I think the double arches with their delicate artistry are my favorite.

And seeing the changing effects of a sunset from these vantage points is truly incredible.

Thank you for these marvelous photos and a wonderful article.

It's real. Here we can be stepping from one Archaeology period into another in minutes, without any ill effects, perhaps goosebumps. I hope It may make all of us ageless on the next visit (-:

Thank you, Alexander! I love the photos! 🌻

This brings back so many memories. Stunning pictures. Thank you!

I will never understand how people can carve their names in ancient rock formations or just not respect the land they are walking on. No official bike routes the last time I was there. I might enjoy cycling along route 128. Oh and thank you for mentioning time slots. They definitely didn't have those way back when.

I love your Patreon post - AI is crazy cool, but scary too.

Spectacular photos. It’s appalling to see names defacing the fragile stone formations. Your travel thoughts and impressions are wonderful as always!

Natural rock formations are fascinating along the route you traveled, unlike any I’ve ever seen. One wonders about the geologic processes that formed these huge natural monuments. The scale of size to an average human must be massive of course, difficult to imagine in photos. A personal visit would be a treasure; and I surmise there are many more in the West I’ve not had the pleasure of visiting. The AI generated model Park gives a preview of unexpected, growing technology. Thank you for sharing your travel and your enthusiasm for our natural world.
