We spent this afternoon in the Fiery Furnace -- an area of the park that is highly restricted and requires a fee. To enter you must be with a Park Ranger or if you are going on your own you must go through a training process to ensure hikers do not destroy the delicate vegetation areas and to help them not get lost in the never-ending mazes that make up the Fiery Furnace. We chose to tackle this on our own. The Fiery Furnace is a treasure with unique views around every corner and unlimited slickrock climbing areas to explore. The warnings about getting lost should not be taken lightly as the multitude of little valleys and alleys between the countless fins are almost impossible to keep straight. GPS does not work in the Furnace and there are no maps or signs available.
The Fiery Furnace -- a truly spectacular and unique place

WOW! Jill and I are sitting on the couch at my house and marveling over these photos! I would love to have been there with you guys in this picturesque place and see these things - these colors, that weather, everything (most of all to be with you guys). Thanks for posting these, Dad. They are incredible.
...and Bedda and Drew - you guys are perfect photo subjects - leaping, lounging, posing. You are both as spectacular as the rocks around you.
These photos are amazing! I really should think about going down there someday. You've inspired me. And aunt Rosie, you just get more and more beautifal all the time!
You guys are so amazing! I am awestruck at the photos and envious of the adventure...enjoy it for all of us still stuck at home!
I love the action photos the most.
