Smoke rolls over the Vermillion Cliffs


In November we traveled from Provo to Mesa.  As we traveled over the Kaibab Plateau we noticed smoke which was not unusual has there have been a series of controlled burns recently.  However, as we exited the pine forest it was highly unusual to see smoke rolling over the Vermillion Cliffs.


 It was so unusual to see this view of the rock cliffs.


The smoke was not as dense further to the east as a full moon rose in the sky.


Unusual but beautiful at the same time.


I love it when the sun has started to set in the west and these cliffs begin to glow.


A view back at the Kaibab where all this smoke had orginated.


It is always fun to observe something new on our many trips north to south and north again.
