Description

A wide autumn panorama across the red-rock high desert along US 163 in San Juan County, Utah. Layered mesas, eroded cliffs, distant plateaus, sparse vegetation, and a cloud-filled blue sky create a strongly horizontal landscape composition in the broader Monument Valley–Mexican Hat region.

Story

Captured in October 2010, the image looks across an open high-desert plain toward horizontal bands of eroded rock, layered mesas, and distant flat-topped plateaus. Rust-red and orange earth contrasts with muted vegetation, blue sky, and large white and gray cumulus clouds. The location is identified by GPS as US 163 in San Juan County, Utah, within the broader Monument Valley–Mexican Hat regional landscape and outside the confirmed boundary of Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park.
