Making a special 40 mile round trip drive back to catch the sunrise at the "hogsback" on Utah Highway 12, I shot nearly a full roll of the dawning light over this portion of the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. Signed into law in 1997, management and signs are now in place. Using a tripod and also a split neutral density filter, I was able to take steady and sharp pictures of the various views in all directions. Photos taken October 1, 2000, by Petesthousandpeaks.
