This is a sheer rock cliff that is in the vicinity of the Coral Pink Sand Dunes. This is off the beaten path in the State Park of the same name. It was simply breathtaking. the trail winds through sand, rock, some tricky to navigate turns and falls straight down. Just amazing. I really appreciated the contrasts not only of the land but of the light and color. The white of the snow, the green of the trees, the red of the sand and the blue of the sky... all thrown together in a tapestry of light. The pictures really don't do it justice.
This was my favorite spot. The rock I am sitting on was shaped like a giant heart. I found solace there from the wind and others in the group. I do like to be alone. The valley below stretched out for at least 100 miles. It was so amazing to me to sit there and be able to watch the next storm roll across the way. Awe of nature, for sure.
This is opposite of the sheer cliff face. That is Sam on the edge. He always does like to play the edge. You can't even imagine how far that drop was. And flat rock the whole way down. Wouldn't make for a soft landing...But amazing to see.
So this is what pretty much all of Friday looked like. A blizzard. It was bone chilling cold with sustained winds of 61 mph. The snow hardly stopped, and the sun rarely shown. I can honestly say that it was the coldest I have ever been in my entire life!
