Visited Factory butte and Goblin valley last week.
I photographed factory butte during the blue hours of dawn and then during sunrise. I shoot Goblin valley during the sunset the day prior.
Now that the Factory Butte area is opened to OHVs, there are tire marks all over the place. It is sad to see that some of the formations are totally destroyed by vehicle traffic.

Quality images all, with #1 being my pick. [Not to detract from your work - the vignetting imparted to all these is rather heavy handed to my taste.]
Thanks Rajan sir, duly noted. I will post a set with lighter vignetting
Nice set. Its a pity that OHV's are allowed to go right up to the foot of Factory Butte. They try to get as high up the mountain as possible and the scars they leave behind will last for years!
I have no problem sharing the land but then again there are some small percentage areas that should be off limits to anything with wheels!

Thank you Dave. Yes, I agree, that we do too less to protect the nature and then repent when it is too late to revive. It is a shame that such a delicate landscape monument is getting ravaged by the OHVs
