Hold on tight, reaching warp 7! Over an extended weekend, we embarked on a 2000-mile road trip from California, to Nevada, to Utah, and back; our destination: the badlands near Hanksville. Along the way, we visited Cathedral Gorge State Park in Nevada, near the Utah border. This stunning landscape was shaped by volcanic activity, which left behind thick layers of ash. Over time, vertical erosion sculpted dramatic formations in the soft bentonite clay, including this towering 100-foot-high chimney. -- ƒ/8.0, 12 mm, 1/30, 1/5, 0.7, 2 sec, ISO 400, Sony A7 II, Rokinon 12mm F2.8, HDR, CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, © 2025 Peter Thoeny, @Quality HDR Photography

At the park… #Panaca

Looking up the steep rough terracotta walls of a narrow slot canyon at a patch of light blue sky shaped a little like a cross.

Slot canyons are like nothing else on earth.

Red rock cliffs eroded into pyramidal spires rising from the high desert of Nevada: faded pink at the base, layers of beige, and terracotta at the top.

Sometimes a place is called Heaven Meadow Forest Stream Gardens, and it’s just some suburb. Sometimes a place is called Cathedral Gorge and you’re like, Yeah, no, I get it.

A massive, sunset-lit cloud over the dark hills beyond Panaca, Nevada.

With some clouds you’re like, I would like to wander lonely as you. Not this one. This is the cloud you want backing you up in a bar fight.
