Fisher Towers, Utah:  Gallery 1, 17-18 June 2003

The small red square on the map gives this place little status, but it is astounding.  The size, color and texture of these enormous fins amazed me at every turn of the trail.  I spent the night in the small campground there, all alone in lunar silence under these eerie sentinels and a billion stars.  The Towers are just a few miles up the Colorado Riverway (UT-128) and Moab.  The Moab Brewery and its 7-pack of Tie-Dye Red were a different kind of wonderful.  [38 photos]
