Little Egypt



South of Hanksville, UT off UT95 is a place called little Egypt.  Another suggestion from my friend Roxy (A Nomad For Nature)

The suggestion to check it out was a great tip.  Although it is similar to Goblin Valley State Park, north of Hanksville, Little Egypt doesn’t cost anything go to get in.  It is also a place to go and can do it in any vehicle. 



It’s all about interesting rock formations. 



Also, some colors.



I know, I really am that excited in writing about more rock formations.  I don’t get tired of them👍



There are some special formations like the hoodoo above.  Like other rock formations you have to go and find for yourself as they are not marked on the map.



Here is another interesting one with the Southern Henry Mountains hiding behind it.




You look one way and then get a different view by turning and looking the other way.



The formations are fairly densely located so there is only moderate walking. 
 


Here I am layered up with windbreaker on top because there was a cold wind even though we had clear skies and lots of sun.



I thought this angled piece of stone was interesting in that it was exposed from wind and rain on this angle over time.

I hope you had fun at Little Egypt and take the 1/2 mile drive off UT 95 to see it.

Stay Safe
