Good stuff, Aram. There are some interesting peculiarities in those clay cliffs.
personally, i could spend days in a place like that.
Good work.
Dave

Subject: [LRflex] A few posts

I thought I'd better post a few so people know I still am using a camera.  Been 
working on the shots from our two week trip through some of Southern Nevada and 
Utah.  So, here are a few.
Discovered two new (to me) parks.  Cathedral Gorge in Nevada and Snow Canyon in 
Utah.  Amazing places.  


Cathedral Gorge is a bunch of carved clay cliffs.  There are narrow passages 
you 
can work your way back through until claustrophobia or physical size stops you.

There is an overlook that you can hike to or drive to (like we did since I was 
sick) to see what the gorges look like from the top.

I thought it reminded me of Avatar, the movie, for some reason.  It was like an 
alien world.  Same eerie feeling you get at Craters of the Moon in Idaho.

Then Snow Canyon.  I would love to see it at about the end of April when all 
the 
flowers would be in bloom.  It was a beautiful place, with lots of nice hikes.  
Went on a few shorter ones, as I was still sick, and the weather was turning 
for 
the worst.  The last night and morning it lived up to its name and snowed on us.

This is a sample.  Comments and criticism welcome
