We car camped at the Chessman Ridge Overlook, I was hoping
that the sun would come out in the morning, this time it did.
The park was amazing, alot like Bryce
Canyon, but much more colorful. It looks like an earlier
version of Bryce.

As a resident of Cedar City (93&94) this was my beloved "Backyard". This spot was perfect for my attemps at Stereo Photography (Full Frame 35mm) Thanks for taking me back there! Also I am a group member of "Utah Landscapes" on FlickR.com ( a photo sharing community) and have invited the other members to visit this wonderful site. I must mention that in the 80s I had a goal of capturing on film, all the VABMs (vertical angle benchmarks) on top of the peaks in northern Utah. All "my best" are on slides and will have to figure out how to get them to new fangled digital format! Thanks again, Dave

Best qual photos on webb! Just rtnd fm 3k motorcyle trip to sw UT, based at Brian. I cld't stop for every shot worth taking, but sure glad you did! I can only imagine the shots that didn't make the cuts- would like to know what cam(s) you used. Your lighting is superb. Do you use filters at the taking or do you need to enhance?
Your work greatly adds to my memories of Cedar, Zion, N Rim, Bryce, Esc, Burr, Cap Rf and Canyonlands. Thank you, and Congratulations on you site. You left no stone unturned.
