As promised in earlier posting on our trip the Vermillion Cliffs National Monument, Coyote Buttes and the Wave located there in, this is the posting that contains some of the seventy photos taken in the Wave. Admittedly, the colors vary because of lighting, as with any photo, but dramatically so when the colors in the Wave are so dramatic. I took over 250 images, which represent a photo treasure in which to return in the future.
Again, a big thank you to the group leader, Dean Perron and fellow hikers Susan Mayfield, Mary Frances Ruddick, Pat & Tom Markey. This was a hike of a lifetime!
Here’s the link to my Flickr photo set of the remaining photos — http://www.flickr.com/photos/kennetu/sets/72157629369434228/

This is Part 1 of sharing photos taken in Vermillion Cliffs National Monument, hiking to The Wave in Coyote Buttes. The area is one of the most beautiful natural locations in the United States, therefore, a photographer’s dream. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) allows groups of six into the Coyote Buttes area. Since we were taking the time to take photos along the way to the Wave, the hike took about tow hours. Here are a few of the 55 photos that can be viewed in total by clicking here. Additional posting on our trip to The wave will be forthcoming.

Hiking To The Wave — Images by kenne
Pat and Tom Markey on HWY 89 near the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument just south of Page, Arizona
We just returned from a trip to the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, near Lake Powell and Page, Arizona. This remote and unspoiled monument is a geologic treasure in northern Arizona and southern Utah is a must see area containing Paria Plateau, Vermilion Cliffs, Coyote Buttes and Paria Canyon. Our planned trip, lead by Dean Perron, was to hike into The Wave in Coyote Buttes. Since it is difficult to not get plenty of beautiful photos of one of natures masterpieces, I have many I will be sharing in later posting.
Scenic view of the Vermilion Cliff along HWY 89.
The Vermilion Cliffs is one of the newest national monuments (established in 2000). This scenic region is marked only by a few signposts, remaining without any visitor facilities or other improvements — leaving it as a place where people explore by themselves. Administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), it remains a region where most tourists pass by in route to the Zion National Park, the Grand Canyon or Lake Powell.
