Portal to Nirvana - a photo on Flickriver

Portal to Nirvana

A view into Monument Basin in Canyonlands as a winter storm finishes up its work. The isolation and sheer scenic beauty of this area makes it one of Earth’s last great refuges from human-dominated landscapes. The pillars in the basin are made up of layers of mudstones and sands (Organ Rock Shale) that were deposited in a shallow marine area over 250 million years ago. The white caprock is White Rim Sandstone deposited as sand dunes in a terrestrial environment. In the distance are snow covered buttes just south of the Needles District of Canyonlands.

I am headed back to wander in this area next week, carrying an extra spare tire and the appropriate lug nuts , and will be absent from Flickr for awhile. I look forward to seeing your wonderful posts when I return.
