A landscape of sandstone fins in dull orange in the shade, and yellows where the sun strikes them at their tips. Below their tips there is snow clinging to their bases lower down. In the foreground there is a prominent sandstone saddle that rises at it's far end in an abrupt peak with sun still on it. To it's right are several clumpy green desert trees in the shade of the stones.
Above the landscape is a blue sky with wispy clouds lower toward the horizon, which is blocked by the sandstone spires.
This photo is very near sunset. The sun is out of frame to the far right, and only the tips of the tallest sandstone features have direct sun on them.
This was taken in the Devil's Garden area of Arches national Park, Utah, on a 'primitive trail' that visits many grand vistas and geological features, including arches.

For #Stunday I'm back at the archives for the 2023 Winter trip to the #Moab area of #Utah. I had a very memorable hike in Devil's Garden! The primitive trail option was awesome!
