This is Utah?! Where do I find blue features in Utah? (I've never been, but have always wanted to visit.)

Hanksville comes to mind, not sure where this was taken

I would definitely say it’s Hanksville. Seems the picture was tweaked some cuz I remember them being much more gray but they do call it blue clay.

Well, I will have to add this into my list of places to visit after I move out to Nevada.

You can take a day or two and drive Highway 12 past Bryce Canyon, down to Escalante, over boulder mountain, and then to Capitol reef, not far from this. One of the prettiest drives in Utah, especially in the fall when the leaves are turning colors over the boulder. Some great hiking all along the drive too if that’s to your liking.

> Highway 12

The Staircase/50 Mile, Calf Creek, Kiva Coffee, Burr Trail, Boulder Mountain, Torrey/Loa, Goblin Valley, Henry Mountains.

I could spend a lifetime in that area.

For sure, if you want specific recommendations just let me know. My mom grew up right by Bryce Canyon so I know the area pretty well.

If you did a 1 month road trip around Utah, the only thing you’d do is add another 100 points of interest to your bucket list. It’s the most beautiful place in the world IMO. So much variety and unique landscapes.

Been to 37 countries and 36 states. If I was going to die in a week, I’d probably spend it overlanding in Utah

That is a strong endorsement! I've always been a beach/ocean person. My wife's new job is bringing us to the Vegas area, so I plan on making my way over to Utah when I can.

Vegas is an excellent destination for outdoors activities. Sooo many places within a 5 hour drive. You could go on 3 day weekends to a new place every week and see something different for years

I’m slowly starting to realize that. I’m looking forward to it. :)

Plus cheap flights! If the summers weren’t so brutal I’d live there

Hey it's near Hanksville and Cainville indeed. It's not super blue but the gentle blue hour lights did make it bluer than daylight. I tweaked it in LR to saturate it more.

I’ve had the opportunity to go all around the SLC area, definitely worth a visit if you love striking landscapes
