This deep cleft in the rocks is hidden by cottonwood trees. Your only clue to finding this amazing place is the small parking pull-out. It is cool and shady with sunlit maple trees, sparkling. In this second attempt to paint it, I was lucky to enjoy a 3-hour period completely to myself, soaking in a wild, natural place like no other. This painting received lively bidding at the subsequent silent auction in Escalante.
