Nicely sculpted wash near Factory Butte that was full of water pockets that had a thin layer of ice on them when we were there. We were only able to get about 1/4 mile down the wash before we encountered a water pocket that we weren’t able to get around but what we were able to see was very photogenic.

Photography Tips

Wide angle lens (10 thru 18mm) works best.

Travel Information
