These are rock formations near Lower Calf Creek in Escalante, Utah. They are composed of pink, gray, and tan Navajo sandstone, which over time is eroding into the valley below. The cliffs are a series of steep knobs and jumbled rocks. Juniper and other plants grow lush and thick in the valley. The sun is shining, but the sky is filled with brooding blue-gray clouds. Lower Calf Creek is part of the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument.
