Massive red sandstone chimneys set against a clear blue sky are what inspired the National Geographic Society to name Kodachrome Basin.
Hikers, cyclists, horse riders and photographers come to explore this remote desert area, located 22 miles from Bryce Canyon National Park.
The park has seven hiking trails that loop through the colorful landscape and offer an up-close look at the stunning rock spires, sand pipes and stone arches.
The Panorama Trail is the only trail open to mountain biking. Cyclists can choose from several loops, ranging from three to six miles. Cyclists also bike on park roads.
Horseback riding also is permitted on the Panorama Trail and on the one-mile Grand Parade Trail. A private concession rents horses and offers stagecoach rides.
Most people come to soak up Kodachrome's scenery and to glimpse hawks, chukar partridge, cottontail rabbits and snakes. Coyotes also inhabit the park, though they are seldom seen.
A short drive from the 2,240-acre park is Grosvenor Arch, an intricate double arch considered one of the most impressive sights in the state.
