Castle Valley was our destination after leaving Arches and we had some beautiful late afternoon lighting on the monuments. We started out going up the Castle Valley road to a small settlement with an old homestead, then followed Hwy 128 along the Colorado River until we could look back on the Fisher Towers. Next, we went up the road to the Fisher Towers Campground for a close-up of the towers, then took the road up to Professor Valley. The final shot was taken at the end of the Colorado River Pathway as we returned to Moab.

Yes, it was wonderful to have late afternoon sun adding glow to the monuments after the lost mornings at Arches. Guess things have a way of balancing out in the end, right? So nice to have you following the series, vetus pictorem!

Well, I've been to southern Utah several times but never to Northeast Utah! Did you explore the Native American Pteroglyphs and dinosaur bones up in the Price region? Isn't the Fantasy Canyon somewhere up there beyond Vernal--now that's a place I'd love to take a camera to!! Did you go there?
