Moab MLK

I love Southern Utah! The various red rock formations throughout the Colorado Plateau make for spectacular photography and interesting vacations. Now that I have a job, I can actually afford to go places, and it had been a while since I last visited Moab. Martin Luther King Jr. weekend provided enough time to escape and explore new locations near town. Arches NP was my first stop and I spent the day hiking the snow-covered Entrada Formation and Slickrock. I love the contrast of snow on rust-colored rock; the expanded palette of colors provides wonderful visual stimuli. All pictures Copyright Aaron Keller, 2011.
