My sensors registered a cacophony of colors in Kodachrome Basin State Park, Utah. The park is named after the Kodachrome film, which was popular in the 1940s and 1950s. The cream-colored sandstone and spires formed by erosion over millions of years have colors that range from white to red. The park is filled with unique geological formations called six-layered sand pipes that are found nowhere else in the world. The park is also home to diverse flora and fauna, including juniper trees, sagebrush, and mule deer. It was interesting to compare the geological formations of Kodachrome Basin to those of other parks I have visited previously, such as Capitol Reef and Canyonlands National Parks.
