As we headed back to Kanab we rode through some fog. At one point the sun created a "fogbow". We pulled over and piled out to take pictures. After our first shot we loaded up and moved down the road, stopping to try again. It was fun to chase the fogbow.

After lunch, we drove to the Coyote Buttes - South trailhead. The road in was very sandy and long - a hard 4x4 wheel drive.

A short hike in revealed very colorful rock formations.

The sandstone not only created the rock formations but ran along the ground.
