It looks like a waterfall, especially if you zoom in. It sounds lovely, like a waterfall. I am totally willing to accept its waterfallness!

Picture of a stunning pink, orange, and yellow sunset from Highway 95 south near Beatty, Nevada on April 5, 2026. The mountain ridge in the distance is the eastern edge of Death Valley National Park. The foreground shows a variety of native Nevada sagebrush.

Delicate Arch stands tall against a clear blue sky, its curved red sandstone opening framing layered rock behind it, with two small hikers visible at the base for scale in Arches National Park.

Delicate Arch rising from smooth red sandstone, a reminder of how much patience and time the desert carries in its curves. Arches National Park never disappoints.

A single hot air balloon floating above Arches National Park, with layered sandstone mesas and distant desert formations fading into a hazy horizon under a pale sky.

Island in the Sky - Canyonlands National Park
From the Willow Flat Campground it's just a short walk to this incredible view!

Willow Flat Campground - Canyonlands NP
During the winter months when it's a bit quieter here in Yellowstone I always look forward to a winter break in the desert southwest. The "Island in the Sky" area has always been a favorite.

The Classic View of Monument Valley feels timeless. Iconic sandstone buttes rise from the desert floor, framed by endless sky and deep red earth. It’s the American West at its most quiet, vast, and unmistakably unforgettable.

A deep blue sky is accented by streaks of gossamer white clouds, with the bare branches of a dead tree intervening on the scene. Below is a slope of bare reddish-white rock and mudstone, with a sprig of leafy green at far lower right.

A lone raven is visible through a massive sandstone arch. It looks tiny against the steep canyon walls, which are streaked with desert varnish in this black and white image. The sky is a uniform, featureless gray.

Scientists Racing to Address Wildfires in the US Southwest See Some Unexpected Desert Resilience Nonnative grasses are driving large fires, but hope lies in science- and community-based restoration efforts and in the emerging nature of the deserts and native plants.

My story for Earth Island Journal ‪(@earthislandjournal.bsky.social‬) just came out -- on wildfires in the Desert Southwest and how desert plants, scientists and communities are responding.
