The Routine of Kodachrome Kamping

by richiecdisc - last update: Jun 28, 2009

colorful Kodachrome Basin State Park in Utah
Kodachrome Basin State Park both benefits and suffers by its proximity to neighboring Utah National and State Parks. While true those drawn to parks like Bryce Canyon National Park will likely be intrigued with a stop here if time permits, it is inevitable there will be comparisons between the two. Most would probably rate Bryce as more spectacular than Kodachrome but each park has its own merits and if one is seeking a little solitude it is far more likely in the latter. With evidence of a Geothermic past ala Yellowstone, Kodachrome Basin stands as a more profuse conglomeration of colors. Its array of odd shaped and multi-colored chimneys stand testament to being dubbed Kodachrome after the Kodak Film Company's popular product of the time of its inception. However you shoot it, Kodachrome Basin State Park offers a great place to camp in a beautiful desert terrain with nice short hikes amongst some very scenic rock formations.

 Great photos and very useful information on Kodachrome Basin SP! That spire at Angel's Palace Trail is amazing and so is your shot of the chukar partridge! I'd never heard of the bird before.

 The colours of the red sand are so fantastic! Maybe less spectacular as its famous neighbour, but it does look great to me :-) But what's up: you are writing about "cup of tea" and not the other liquid?? :-P

 Still running a few steps behind you! Love the colours, naturally, and you've made me very sorry we didn't spend more time here. The Kozy Kabins (despite horrid name!) look just what we enjoy but I don't think were there in '94 LOL

 Beautiful page Richie! The chukar partridge looks so lovely! You were very lucky to capture such a allusive bird, he must have heard about your pancakes:)
