On April 8th, we drove down the historic Hole In The Rock Road in the Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument. Besides great scenery, there were a couple of specific places we wanted to visit.
The Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument
visitor's center in Escalante, Utah.
Our first stop was an area of wonderful rock formations called Devil's Garden.
We came across this medium sized lizard.
This tree looked mostly dead, but still had some green leaves.
Further down the road was this large rock amphitheater called "Dance Hall Rock". This location was used by the early Mormon settlers as a venue for social gatherings.
This shallow depression in the floor of the amphitheater appears to
collect just enough moisture to allow a few plants to survive.
