Along Highway 12 - it was hard not to stop here with the sun hitting the outcrop at a nice angle. I may be wrong about this, but I think these outcrops are part of the Cretaceous Straight Cliffs formation (sandstones and shales), which has occasional organic rich layers - including coal.

What should have been a spectacular view was somewhat less than spectacular because of some late afternoon high clouds to the west. It was just the beginning of about two days of cloud-based GigaPanning frustration.

Some photogenic geology/scenery from inside the park - past the "Arch" group site and along a dirt road leading to Chimney Rock. (The weather was threatening, so we didn't go very far... maybe next time?) Yes, the cow watched the entire pan....

Side trip along a dirt road to the trailhead for the Stump Spring Trail gives us a nice view of the orange rocks of the Claron formation, which are also responsible for the colorful scenery at Bryce Canyon.

I think this is in the Triassic Chinle Formation, but I'm not certain.

At this point (between Escalante and Boulder), Rte. 12 in southern Utah crosses along the top of a ridge with drop-offs to both side, exposing expanses of Navajo sandstone occasionally cut by canyons.

Another panoramic view spoiled by late afternoon clouds to the west. I guess that's just an excuse for me to go out and GigaPan it again sometime in the (hopefully near) future... ;-)
