Looking out over the canyonlands near the Green River from within a unique double arch formation on the canyon rim.
In late October we hit the road for two weeks of camping and hiking in the deserts of southern Utah. Our first destination was the remote and relatively seldom-visited region along the Green River between the towns of Green River and Hanksville.
See more photos below!

Looking down into Three Canyon from the rim.
We tried to backpack into Three Canyon, but the hiker’s route into the mouth of the canyon involved a slightly-too-sketchy crossing over steep slickrock directly above the Green River, so we decided to throw in the towel and settled for this view from the rim instead.
Somebody had some fun making these trippy hands on the slickrock; I had fun photographing their “qi”!
Some colorful sandstone narrows.
A full moon rises over the desert.

We also made a short backpacking trip to a remote but spectacular set of arches and alcoves. Fantastic!
Alcove bounce light in the early morning.
Great to see you two back out, cheese and all! Love the moonshot. Thanks Jack!
