(nr Boulder UT)
Long Canyon was just a portion of the Burr Trail Scenic Backway; but, wow! Entering the canyon gave only a glimpse of what was to follow. In hindsight, it was just a teaser for the upcoming views.
Entering Long Canyon
Towering red rock cliffs reaching toward the sky, cliffs with pocket holes, and crevices or slots running between them.
Very Tall Red Rock Cliff
Pocket Holes in Cliff
Tardis below Massive Formation
Rugged, pointed pinnacles, slab like rock faces, composite rock bubbles, and huge cliffs that dwarfed my rig Tardis.
Slot between Rock Walls
Pretty Colors on Cliff
Cliff made of Rock Slabs
Tall rock formations, steep sandy slopes at their base, and massive boulders scattered all around. Rocks of every shape and size. Yippee!
Slope below Cliff
Big Rock Formation
Huge Boulder & Multi-rock
There were so many exciting views, and so few pullouts, that I had to stop in the middle of the road to take photos. Luckily, there was little traffic on that day. I am so glad I didn’t skip driving this road.
