Kodachrome Basin State Park, located in the heart of southern Utah, is a jewel of colours and geology. The park gets its name from the vibrant hues of the rocks, which recall the rich colours of Kodak's famous Kodachrome film. This compact park of about 2,400 hectares offers a serene and almost surreal experience away from the hustle and bustle of nearby parks such as Bryce Canyon.
The landscape is characterised by more than 67 unique sandstone pillars, known as spires or chimney rocks. These formations, some more than 50 metres high, are probably the result of centuries of sedimentary rock erosion around ancient hot springs. Their shapes and colours, ranging from deep red to bright white, create a fascinating and picturesque backdrop.
With its quiet trails and clear skies, Kodachrome Basin is an excellent spot for stargazing.
Kodachrome Basin is an oasis of peace and natural splendour, a place where the play of light and stone inspires and amazes every visitor.
