I absolutely love pictures like this, even though they can't compare to seeing these places in person. The sheer size and magnificence of natural wonders are mind-blowing.

If you've never been there, Hell's Half Acre in Wyoming is another breathtaking place to visit amd photograph. People have seen it in Starship Troopers, and in person it truly does look like an alien landscape. It's been 30 years since I saw the place, and it is still burned in my memory.

Canyonlands is easily my second favorite national park. We went for the first time in November and thought we'd only spend a couple days there but spent twice that and wished we'd had more time. Even just that long drive into the Needles district, understanding that for an hour or more you're just driving down what is basically a dead end road, going deeper and deeper into the canyons. It felt boundless

On a fun note, it gave me the strongest "Roadrunner" vibes of any of the Utah parks

I hear you so much on this!!! I felt that way when I went to the Bisti Badlands in New Mexico. The silence was quite literally DEAFENING and brought me to my knees. The absolute stillness & lack of human presence, coupled with the majesty of nature, is mind boggling. I also definitely felt this way at Canyonlands this last year, when I went for the first time... but I wasn't as lucky as you, and shared the park with lots of other humans. Still absolutely breath-taking!!
