Seen from above, a maze of red sandstone hoodoos crowds below a towering, pale gray cliff whose eroded flanks look like draped fabric. Low, golden light picks out every spire and crevice, setting the rust-colored goblins against the cool white of the rock above. Beyond, the desert opens into a wide basin of badlands and mesas that fade toward a softly glowing horizon. The view shows the scale and strangeness of a place that feels more like another planet than southern Utah.
