Rarely visited and off the beaten path, Kodachrome Basin State Park is a sumptuous buffet for the senses, an immovable feast hidden smack dab in the middle of nowhere far out on the edge of nothing.
You'll find it midway between lost and wild, up in the rugged high desert of southern Utah's Colorado Plateau on the northwest fringes of 2-million-acre Grand Staircase - Escalante National Monument.
If you're a crow, fly 30 miles southeast of Bryce Canyon National Park and stop when the pavement ends.
If you bring the kids to Kodachrome Park be sure to cover their eyes. Some of the monolithic spires known as sedimentary pipes that stand erect on the valley floor are downright obscene.
