Kodachrome Basin State Park was so named by National Geographic photographers in 1949, around the same time as the film was first used. The sedimentary spires (sandpipes) exist only in this small area and no one is sure of their origin and they are different than the hoodoos in Bryce in their creation. Theories are that they were geysers that were filled in with sandstone or that they were caused by tectonic activity, but no one is sure. The other amazing thing is that there was no one else in the park! Unbelievable!
The drive from there to Capitol Reef was beautiful and changed constantly, from expansive views of rock formations to forests of pine trees and birch trees changing color. The summit was a head-spinning 9,600 feet.
