Smoky Canyonlands -- June 2018, Canyonlands National Park, UT

For this week's second picture, this was taken late in the afternoon in the Island in the Sky region of Canyonlands National Park in eastern Utah. Smoke was advected into eastern Utah in upper levels from a wildfire somewhere to the west, creating soft "golden hour" lighting for several hours on end, which was a visual treat. This picture was taken looking to the east towards the La Sal Mountains and Arches National Park.


 I've been to Canyonlands one time since this trip (the following summer), but have not spent more than part of an afternoon here. This is a park I would love to explore the backcountry of on foot someday.
