Fantasy Canyon, near Vernal, Utah
Fantasy Canyon is an unusual geologic formation out in the desert, forty miles South of Vernal in northeastern Utah. The open desert here is dotted with hundreds of automatic oil and gas-drilling stations.
The formations in Fantasy Canyon are amazingly complex, and are the result of different hardnesses of sandstone layers eroding at slightly different rates.
This is a fascinating park one usually has to oneself!

FILM NOTES:
TJ Sheridan travels to one of the world's most hauntingly beautiful natural wonders, Fantasy Canyon, located in Eastern Utah near Dinosaur Natl. Monument. The sandstone formations are reminiscent of bones left by the dinosaurs themselves, which provide a wonderful subject for the unique perspectives achieved by TJ's aerial camera techniques.
Small herds of wild horses roam the deserts of Eastern Utah around Fantasy Canyon, which is hidden away in a vast expanse of desert being exploited for natural gas. Hundreds of gas wells dot the landscape, networked with dirt roads that enable adventurous desert dwellers to explore these natural sandstone formations.
TJ writes, performs, and records an original soundtrack to match the spooky atmosphere of the landscape.
The song can be purchased from most online music distributors. Please support the artist by purchasing the song from your favorite vendor! Proceeds will help defray the costs of future films and enable TJ to produce films more frequently.
Some fans have requested that high resolution video files be made available for download so that TJ's aerial films can be enjoyed in home theater environments or on mobile devices. To satisfy those requests, and also to allow sponsors & Patrons of the Arts to make donations, the source film can be downloaded for a small donation, or for any amount you choose above the minimum. As these films are expensive and time consuming to produce, your patronage is very much appreciated!

If this film inspires you to visit Fantasy Canyon yourself, please be extremely careful as the sandstone formations are fragile and irreplaceable. Please don't climb on the formations or harm them in any way, and keep children and pets from damaging these timeless wonders so that others may visit and enjoy it too.
Notes on the title screen time lapse:
While travelling along a dirt road, anxious to arrive at Fantasy Canyon before the evening light had fled the landscape, I looked out my window and noticed a strange rock formation that reminded me of a sea horse head. The long snout of rock hanging out was pronounced, but I felt it wasn't worth stopping because I was losing light rapidly and I was very close to my destination. I drove along for half a minute and looked out the window again, this time noticing the interesting cloud formation on the horizon, which reminded me of something... a shape I'd seen recently... wait a minute! I slammed on the brakes, backed up along the dirt road until I reached that seahorse formation and realized the clouds in the sky perfectly matched the shape of the rock formation. By the time I got my camera out and set up for a time lapse, the cloud had lost some of it's shape, but there was still enough similarity to do the shoot. I paused the timelapse at the very beginning of the shot so you could see the rock & clouds in harmony before watching that brief moment drift away.
Our world is truly wonderful and sometimes bizarrely imaginative. It was one of those moments when nature says 'this moment is just for you, to reward you for being in this place at this time'. I wish I'd have recognized it the first time I passed the formation, I might have been in place to capture the event at it's prime, but I'm grateful that I looked again and captured enough to remember it. -TJ Sheridan
Lyrics:
Lives flowing through sandglass
Innumerable souls have passed
Their memories revealed
In gardens of bone
Time bending down the mast
Our ship will sail at last
Humanity concealed
In gardens of bone
Favorite Petroglyph Panels in Northeast Utah - Near Vernal, Utah
There are a number of impressive petroglyph panels in the area around Vernal in northeast Utah. Some of my favorite panels are in two locations in Dinosaur National Monument.
A third favorite area is on the Sadie McConkie Ranch in Dry Fork Canyon. This is one of the most impressive and extensive petroglyphs sites I've seen so far in my travels. Although the ranch is private land, the owners have made the site accessible to the public, only asking that visitors obey all signs (I'll suggest that you make a donation at the site to help keep it maintained and accessible).

Fantasy Canyon è un'insieme di roccie che sembrano scolpite da un'uomo più che dalla natura stessa che invece ha creato queste meravigliose sculture. Lo strato di arenaria in cui i pinnacoli, colonne, archi di Fantasy Canyon si sono formate da antichi sedimenti del canale del fiume.
