CanyonLands National Park, UT

We spent the day in Canyonlands National Park today. This formation is called Merimac and Monitor.
This is Dead Horse Point. Legend has it that the indians would round up wild horses and pen them on the point (center of the picture). After they culled out the horses they wanted, they would let the rest go. One time they kept the horses on the point too long and many of them died of dehydration. The Colorado River runs around the point, but the horses could not get to the water.
This is one of the many canyons in Canyonlands.

This formation is called Wooden Shoe.
