The first thing travelers to southeastern Utah notice is the color. Red, orange, purple, pink, creamy ivory, deep chocolate, and even shades of turquoise paint the landscape. Rocks jut and tilt first one way, then another. There's no flat canvas of color in this country, and near-vertical walls stand in the way of easy route-finding. Deep canyons, carved by wild Western rivers, crisscross the area. Rocks teeter on slim columns or burst like mushrooms from the ground. Snowcapped mountains stand in the distant horizon no matter which direction you look. The sky is more often than not blue in a region that receives only about eight inches of rain a year. When thunderstorms do build, the sky turns a dramatic gunmetal gray, bringing deep orange cliffs into sharp relief.
