Burr Trail switchbacks at Capital Reef.

[mike_c]

This is Burr Trail winding up through Waterpocket Fold at Capital Reef. The scale and perspective are somewhat deceptive. That "boulder" across the road on the left side is actually a huge cliff-- if you look carefully you can see one of the switchbacks between the foreground road and that cliff opposite. The plants on top are pinyon pine trees, not small shrubs.
