Cottonwood Road

We decided to take a dirt road shortcut, named Cottonwood Road from the Lake Powell area to Bryce Canyon. It would take us past Grosvenor Arch & the Kodachrome Basin State Park. An added unexpected bonus was stopping to look at rocks & finding fossil mussels in a seam above a coal bed.
Southern Utah is a living geology lesson.

  1. Living geology - that's how life should be I think. Beautiful scenery and love the pictures of the different strata - and Bob out on a limb of rock - too adventurous for me but way back when, some of the amoeba had to leave the swamp and strike out in the evolutionary cause. Go Bob!

  2. The colour of the lichen is amazing (another one of those words!)
