Kolob Canyons

Kolob Canyon 032824

It turns out the next national park we would visit was actually Zion again, but a completely different (almost completely separate) part of the park called Kolob Canyons. We were on the long long drive from Bryce Canyon to Las Vegas, so this was a good place halfway to stop for a while (but that was a long journey across the desert, and an otherwise boring busy freeway). We stopped and went to an overlook where you can see the panoramic vista, with arches like huge wheels forming in the rich orange rock; I used that new Daniel Smith Aussie Red Gold to bring out the colour in this one, that paint is a bit strong (and a lot more golden yellow than the reddish brown that comes out of the tube, it’s a way stronger pigment than my other paints). We stopped in at the Visitor Center on the way in, where I got my souvenirs, but we didn’t have time to do any hiking, we were off to spend the night in Vegas.
