The Uplift Dome This is the opposite edge of the cliff, and you can see the road. If you look closely--especially you, TAPS--you can see a turn-off which leads to the...

Window Seat: Suddenly...
...the landscape alters to all-about-the-rocks. This might be a view of the San Rafael Swell, I'm not sure... whatever it is, it's geologically beautiful and fascinating!

Window Seat: Utah Mountain Autumn
I remember driving in September through the Wasatch Range southeast of Salt Lake City, enjoying the rare color of some red-twig brush that grew in great patches on the mountainsides, and the brilliant yellow aspen groves...
