Unique views of Kinesava Mt, Cougar Mountain, West Temple and much more. Dramatic Huber Wash, subdued Scoggins Wash and the desert oasis of Coal Pits Wash. Fields of petrified trees and rainbow layers of clay. Open sky, fresh air and plenty of both to go around.
Make it an in-and-out, a loop or just go and explore. Either way, enjoy the 16+ miles of desert sun, preferably in the winter and not after rain. The clay trails turn slick and greasy with moisture and with sparse juniper shade, direct long hours of sun can be brutal.
Overall, I think I love Chinle...whether I know what it is or not.

That whole first sentence....eluded me (tee,hee) That was a lot of words I've never heard before.
Those pictures are amazing and look like they should be framed.
The colors.....such beauty!!!!!
That petrified wood looks awesome!!
You should hook up with Cory Reese and go trail running with him. He goes everywhere out there in Zion's.
Beautiful photos! And such great weather, slightly jealous.
Love your photos and an explanation of the name. I am sitting in fog and long for a hike in your photo.
Always love the pics. I definitely need to take a trip there...can't believe I've never been.
Cool spot!

My son's best friend that is a girl is moving there. I have a feeling she will love it.
