Arches, Buttes, Canyons & Pinnacles | Sandstone Gallery Fine Art for Collectors
This is a collection of fine art nature photography prints for sale by landscape photographer Max Foster showcasing the beauty of the state of Utah. Utah is known for its natural diversity and is home to features ranging from arid deserts with sand dunes to thriving pine forests in mountain valleys. It is a rugged and geographically diverse state at the convergence of three distinct geological regions: the Rocky Mountains, the Great Basin, and the Colorado Plateau.
Much of the scenic southern and southeastern landscape (specifically the Colorado Plateau region) is sandstone. The Colorado River and its tributaries wind their way through the sandstone, creating some of the world's most striking and wild terrain. Wind and rain have also sculpted the soft sandstone over millions of years. Canyons, gullies, arches, pinnacles, buttes, bluffs, and mesas are the common sight throughout south-central and southeast Utah. This terrain is the central feature of protected state and federal parks such as Arches, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, and Zion national parks, Cedar Breaks, Grand Staircase-Escalante, Hovenweep, and Natural Bridges national monuments, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (Lake Powell), Dead Horse Point and Goblin Valley state parks, and Monument Valley.
