I’d asked Bruce a few days back how one gets to the Totem Pole formation. I’d seen a photo from there I’d liked and wanted to see if I could take it myself. Well Bruce said he’d take us there which is all we thought we were going to do this afternoon. Man, were we wrong!

What you see here is the formation right next to Totem Pole, Ya Be Chei. The clouds were great right at this moment so spent probably more time here then I should have but couldn’t pull away from it.

This is Totem Pole. You might not recognize it from this angle, but if you ever saw the movie The Eiger Sanction, you saw Clint Eastwood on top of this from an aerial view. Did I get the shot I wanted? Nope, I’ll be coming back in Sept for that one, wrong time of year. Bruce said not to worry, in Sept he’d take us to the top of the Mesa so we could photograph the Valley from the air. How cool will that be?!
