'Balls everywhere.'
Balls of layered sandstone above the Paria Canyon. They may be of micro-organic origin, dating from the Jurassic era.](http://paulsmit.smugmug.com/photos/106652498_6tfCZ-Ti.jpg "Smit & Palarczyk > [USA.UTAH 7716]

'Above Paria Canyon.'
Once layers of sand were deposited in desert dunes. Later they were covered by other materials, they petrified and surfaced again when the Colorado Plateau was uplifted and then eroded.](http://paulsmit.smugmug.com/photos/106648567_MwSvA-Ti.jpg "Smit & Palarczyk > [USA.UTAH 7714]

![Smit & Palarczyk > [USA.ARIZONA 3868] 'The Wave.' Behind the ravines entrance I walk into a giant wave of what seems to be a sticky red fluid with white stripes. Like sour cream stirred into pumpkin soup ('The Wave' in nature reserve Coyote Buttes).](http://paulsmit.smugmug.com/photos/2048582_YFes4-Ti.jpg "Smit & Palarczyk > [USA.ARIZONA 3868] 'The Wave.'

![Smit & Palarczyk > [USA.UTAH 7689] 'Holes in the rock.' Some walls are decorated with complicated patterns of indentations, holes and caves. It looks like a group of crazy sculptors with a strange sense of humour have been at work (Paria Canyon).](http://paulsmit.smugmug.com/photos/2048581_VWdEZ-Ti.jpg "Smit & Palarczyk > [USA.UTAH 7689] 'Holes in the rock.'

![Smit & Palarczyk > [USA.ARIZONA 3879] 'Side wave.' I walk on in a side wave, a whole network of waves, some narrow and some half submerged.

![Smit & Palarczyk > [USA.UTAH 7698] 'Paria Canyon.' Entering the Paria Canyon is entering the wilderness. No trail, no camp sites, no drinking water. We have to carry everything with us.](http://paulsmit.smugmug.com/photos/2048578_MuKrD-Ti.jpg "Smit & Palarczyk > [USA.UTAH 7698] 'Paria Canyon.' Entering the Paria Canyon is entering the wilderness.

![Smit & Palarczyk > [USA.UTAH 7702] 'Our diner table.' The table on which we eat our dry dinner comes straight off a Seventies album cover of the symphonic rock group Yes (camping wild in the Paria Canyon).](http://paulsmit.smugmug.com/photos/2048576_aob3C-Ti.jpg "Smit & Palarczyk > [USA.UTAH 7702] 'Our diner table.'
