  1. Looking down into the notch through which Interstate 70 passes into the San Rafael Swell.

  2. The abrupt east face of the San Rafael Swell where I-70 pierces it. Outside of Boulder, Colorado you'd be hard pressed to find a better example of hogbacks.

  3. Just east of the San Rafael Swell this hill is composed entirely of sedimentary rocks of the dinosaur-bearing Jurassic Morrison Formation.

  4. The gently dipping west side of the San Rafael Swell is one of the more desolate stretches of America traversed by a major interstate highway. Desolate, but not lacking in geologic wonders.

  7. The San Rafael Swell, taken from this rest stop is one of the most popular panoramas. You can see the squeeze of uplifted rock so well and zooming in on cars and people gives you a great feeling of the size of this geologic feature. Canon G9 hand held (DUH) using the panorama feature

  8. Infrared highlights the true swell nature of the San Rafael Swell in Utah, USA (I'm taking a few of my old panoramas and re-purposing them for this site while I wait for my gigpan, any day now!)
