North Coyote Buttes, or "The Wave," in Paria Canyon AZ/UT. In the Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness.

Morning light on sandstone can be particularly vibrant.

O. M. G. You really make me wish I'd gone through the effort to get a permit when I was down there... next time! Gorgeous composition. Great perspective.

You should definitely have gotten a permit. It's worth it. Though, it can take a few days with the whole "lottery" system. I lucked-out, and happened to arrive just minutes before the lottery started. There were about 45 people in the ranger station, but luckily enough, I was one of the names they called. On any given day, there will be 40-80 people trying for permits; this sounds discouraging, I know, but if you aren't selected, the rangers will add an additional number in the lottery tumbler for your party. Thus, the odds of being selected become pretty good after a few days.

Conversely, you can sign up for this online, apparently, but I think it's booked ~ a year in advance.

Yes - those odds discouraged me right out of trying for it. I felt getting into the subway was enough of a risk/hassle! But your gallery has inspired me to go for it next time. :)

Love NCB. Such a crazy place. I very much like this shot though, I like the way you composed it.

Ah I've been here. I think on that very spot....
I may or may not have been on top of that one. It was either that one or one of the ones close by to get some nice pictures for my family. I would like to go out there again, it is a beautiful place.

The colors are amazing. I've seen some beautiful colors in desert pictures, but these are incredibly vibrant. :+fav:

Indeed, the colors of this place are pretty amazing. If you hit it just right during the morning hours, everything in the area vibrantly glows. Pretty amazing to see.

Thanks for stopping by!
