We spent about 20-30 minutes quickly driving through Arches national park. We were on a tight schedule to make it back for a meeting in Provo. But here are a few of the pictures taken pretty close to sunset.

Hoodoo pictures taken at Little Egypt south of Hanksville Utah – Exact location of pictures Here
Geologic Information: Why travel around the world when Little Egypt is as close as Garfield County? This geologic area showcases fantastic and sometimes grotesque stone hoodoos that bring to mind the magnificent temples of ancient Egypt, hence its name Little Egypt Geologic Site.
How to get there: From Hanksville, head south on State Route 95. Approximately 4.2 miles after (south) the Garfield County line, just past (south) mile marker 20, turn right (west) on the “Scenic Backway” road towards North Wash. Just off the highway is a sign to “Little Egypt Geologic Site.” Little Egypt is less than two miles off the highway.
pictures were taken along Highway 95 in the northeastern part of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area

Goosenecks State Park is a state park of Utah, USA, overlooking a deep meander of the San Juan River. The park is located near the southern border of the state a short distance from Mexican Hat, Utah. Millions of years ago, the Monument Upwarp forced the river to carve incised meanders over 1,000 feet (300 m) deep as the surrounding landscape slowly rose in elevation. Eroded by water, wind, frost, and gravity, this is a classic location for observing incised meanders.
