"Forrest Gump stopped running here; Thelma and Louise did not"

Monument Valley | Utah | USA | 2010-04-21
The Monument Valley area is part of the Colorado Plateau. The floor is largely Cutler Red siltstone or its sand deposited by the meandering rivers that carved the valley. The valley's vivid red color comes from iron oxide exposed in the weathered siltstone. The darker, blue-gray rocks in the valley get their color from manganese oxide. Monument Valley was film set for many Hollywood Movies like "Forrest Gump" or "Thelma and Louise".

"Driving westward through empty plains"

http://uwepetercom.blogspot.com/2010/04/driving-westward-through-empty-plains-st.html

St. George to Page | Nevada | Utah | USA | 2010-04-20
This daytrip went along the same routes we made in 2008. But this time we only wanted to come from A (St. George/Utah) to B (Page/Arizona). We didn´t passed the Zion Nationalpark like in 2008, we took the street via Hurricane and Colorado City. First thought was to stay in Page after visiting again the Antelope Canyon, but for some reasons we went further on this day to Monument Valley.

Canyonlands NP | Utah | USA | 2008-07-05
Canyonlands is so big and there is a lot to drive. But at the end every view, every trail and every experience is so unique and for every photographer there are a lot of perfect spots (f.e. Mesa Arch before sunrise).

Goblin Valley State Park | Utah | USA | 2008-07-02
This little State Park is situated some miles away from the main touristic route from the Capitol Reef National Park to Arches NP and Canyonlands NP. Nevertheless it´s worth the travel because you find a lot of little goblins with different shapes and you can walk inside this magical wonderworld.

Bryce Canyon NP | Utah | USA | 2008-06-30
Suddenly you stay at the viewpoint and have a perfect auditorium in front of you. Not only staying on top, also looking from the bottom between the loose rocks and trees make this National Park so beautiful. Bryce Canyon is named after Ebenezer Bryce, who homesteaded in the area in 1874. He once said: ‚It's a hell of a place to lose a cow. ..."

The Wave in the Coyote Buttes in Utah is one of my Top 3 Spots on Earth. It´s hard to get a permit which allows you to walk there. Only 20 permits per day are issued. But if you have the chance to get there, be sure you will be overwhelmed.
