Kachina Bridge in Natural Bridges National Monument is not easily visible from the roadway that loops through the area. A hike to the canyon bottom reveals its massive structure:
As can be seen from this panorama, it’s a great spot for a picnic during a thunderstorm or an earthquake. This National Monument is well known for its very dark night skies, which in itself is worth the visit.
All The Best,

A classic Utah hike, Mt. Timpanogos is probably Utah’s most popular hiking destination. This waterfall is near the bottom of the Aspen Grove Trail:
It’s been over 30 years since I last made this trek, and the long span between visits has given me a unique perspective. The trail has been made harder since my last visit (maybe they made it taller). At the base of the summit lies Emerald Lake which normally lives up to its name, but this year was more ice than water. The actual summit is to the right of the opening view in the following panorama:
Have a great day,

While making some updates to the Utah3D.Net website, I spent some time viewing an older panorama which has been a favorite of mine and many others, and realized it was time for a facelift. This scene is in Payson Canyon, along the Nebo Loop Road, in an area called Maple Bench. I’ve reworked it using the original source files and come up with what I feel is an improved image (maybe when I first made it I was in a bad mood?…)
Hope you enjoy it!

The Dirty Devil River which starts near Hanksville, Utah, is a tributary of the Colorado River. This overlook, a half hour drive off paved roads, seems to get few visitors, but provides a wonderful view of a canyon which is some 2000 ft (600 m) deep.
Upstream from this spot is the Robbers Roost area where Butch Cassidy and his gang would hideout periodically during the late 1800s.
Thanks for viewing!
Martin
