The Field Atlas
0/363Canyon chapter · 37.59° N · 112.19° W
Not a river canyon but a horseshoe amphitheater of hoodoos — tall, thin spires of Claron limestone carved by frost and rain.
Night freeze and noon thaw pry the pink limestone apart. Inspiration Point looks down on thousands of hoodoos stacked like a city. Dawn is the hour the amphitheater catches fire.
