On Dec. 3 we took a break from Arches Park (we're not done there yet) and took a drive down Potash Rd. to see a few arches that live down that way.
The day was overcast, so the photos aren't that stunning, but these cliffs that hug the road are pretty impressive. When they put the road in, they cleared away the talus at the bottom of the cliffs, which is partly why they are so relentlessly vertical down to the base. The cars parked belong to climbers:
There are petroglyphs on the cliffs along the road:
This train was parked near the potash plant:
The Colorado river, which also hugs the road:
A couple of photos of the potash plant:
This is Jug Handle arch, we stopped for a photo of it as we drove back:
Next stop is our hike to Corona Arch.
