This was taken at an afternoon stop along cow dung road near Hanksville Utah.

Thanks Alan, sort of like some of your Painted Hills images.The overcast skies are perfect for bringing out the neat color show in these hills. I like the scene.
Thanks Jim, this is the same area that Jeffrey did his drone pano that looks like a Mandelbrot set. It's easy to see how that might look from the top, Some of you climbed up this hill but so far as I know I have not seen any images posted from that viewpoint.The ground layer has so many cool stripes it's just mind boggling! I like the hoodoo's at the bottom. This could be called a hoodoo graveyard.
Good name huh? No clue how it got its name, I did not see any cattle there or much grazing.This was such a great road, kind of makes you wonder how it got its name. Maybe someone along the way thought it look like giant cow pies. Great shot Ben.
Might be possible in a 2WD, just rough, no real bad stuff.Very interesting colors and shapes in the rocks. The diffused light is just ideal for capturing it. Nicely done Ben.
Is that road easily accessible or is it 4x4 territory.
I believe this might be an Apple Maps error. Try using Google as a search engine and it will point you at the road that goes by the Mars Research Station. If you type in Cow Duna Road Google will try to correct you to Cow Dung Road.I was intrigued by the “Cow Dung Road” mentioned above in Ben’s post—very nice image—never having heard of the unusual but catchy name. I’ve been to Goblin Valley once but not on the secondary “roads” often mentioned here in our Landscape section. I typed “Cow Dung Road” into the Apple Maps app but the search instead found “Cow Duna Rd” (see map attachment) near the Hanksville area. Disappointed in this revelation, I thought I would share this hoping Apple is wrong and Ben is right. One could also say I have too much time on my hands—and in this instance I agree with you!
Yes, you can see it on Google Earth. The road name sign has been gone for over a year. It is certainly doable in a two wheel drive SUV, or small truck.
I still have video from over those hills, Ben, that need editing.
Nice image, Ben. I still want to go back there!
