Once the latest storm blew over we crossed back over to the far western edge of Cummings Mesa. This edge, overlooking West Canyon had by far the best views as well as very interesting archaeology. Half way thru the trip the scenery just got crazy spectacular. The first two photos gives a nice sense of the immense vertical scale of the West Canyon region. The rest were taken from the edge of our camp that night. It had a very "Sierra-like" feel to it as there were literally 30 little "tarns" some as big as 30 feet across, accompanied by Navajo Mountain peering down on us from the distance.
Impressive scenery! Thanks for sharing. Is that a part of the Grand Canyon?

Well done.
No, it's on the Navajo Nation just off of Lake Powell. You might want to go back and see my earlier posts from this trip to get the full back story.
Beautiful photos and landscape. What a spectacular journey!
Desolate, but spectacular, landscapes! Once again, fantastic photography on your part.

Spectacular scene! Very photogenic!!!
Great photos! I would be especially interested in seeing some of the "archaeology"!
…the people really help with perspective…but getting down from the top may be harder than getting up…?
