Kodachrome Basin

Kodachrome Basin is between Capitol Reef and Bryce. We opted to stay there, allowing us to avoid the crowds in Bryce, while still being close enough to for a day trip to Bryce. Joanie got to experience her first single track ride. Had a fair amount of sandy pushes. Still, it was a good way to see the sights, we'd bike for a bit, park 'em and take a side hike.

We did get some stretches that were smooth riding.





Grosvenor Arch is a few miles down a rough road from Kodachrome. White, not red like most of what you'll see in Arches.
The chukars were nesting while we were there. This one was particularly friendly.
The spires in Kodachrome Basin are thought to be remnants of ancient springs. When the springs dried up the sands within them became harder rock than the surrounding material. Erosion removed the softer rock.
