Description
This print is a wide view of Shafer Canyon in Dead Horse State Park β a deep, layered cut in the desert that stretches across the frame in steep walls and warm red stone. The canyon drops sharply, carved by time into ridges, ledges, and long vertical faces lit by daylight. Shadows fall into the lower layers, revealing texture and depth, while the upper plateau spreads open and flat beneath a broad sky. Itβs the scale of the Southwest on full display β vast, quiet, and rugged.
Dead Horse State Park overlooks some of the most dramatic desert canyons attached to the Colorado River system, with Shafer Canyon standing out as one of its most recognizable drops. Erosion, uplift, and deep time have shaped the rock into the sweeping forms seen here β a landscape that feels ancient, untouched, and immense.
This print fits well in homes or spaces built around desert tone, open land, and Western scale. Its depth and red-rock walls make it ideal for living rooms, offices, and mountain-modern interiors where canyon texture and wide horizon elevate the space.
