The Vermilion Cliffs to The Grand Staircase
Arizona Strip & Southern Utah Wanderings | Day 3
Monday, October 8, 2012
On Monday morning we got up early and wandered over to The White Pocket again to catch the sunrise. We arrived plenty early to try and catch the pre-sunrise glow, which was amazing!
There’s sometimes an amazing glow that really brings out the colors in the sandstone about 10-20 minutes before sunrise. You can see it with your eyes, but a long exposure really brings it out in your photos.

Interesting shapes and lines in this formation and nice clouds in the sky. We couldn’t have asked for better conditions.

White Pocket Butte lights up with alpenglow right before the sun comes up.
