The Original Trip Report on ADVENTR.CO
I left work on Friday and drove back into Utah so I could spend the weekend in Price. As I drove north on Highway 6 I pulled over to take a few photos as the sun was setting for the day.
Warm evening light usually looks good on the Book Cliffs to the east.

Roadside Sunset by IntrepidXJ, on Flickr
As I was making my way north, I noticed that the leaves on the cottonwood trees I was passing were bright yellow and probably at their peak of color.

Cottonwoods by IntrepidXJ, on Flickr
Just a small hill along the road that normally wouldn't catch anyone's attention, but the light was hitting it nicely as I drove by.

On Saturday, Kelly and I spent the day in Nine Mile Canyon searching for rock art and photographing the golden cottonwood trees found along the creek.

Black Anthropomorph by IntrepidXJ, on Flickr
We hiked through thick sagebrush up a side canyon to find this interesting petroglyph panel. Check out the upside down buffalo carved along the crack in the wall. We also ran into a large herd of elk while hiking in this canyon.
