Checkerboard Mesa

This stone was made specially for a cross-country trip to witness an eclipse in Utah in October of 2023. One of my favorite features in Zion National Park is Checkerboard Mesa. I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s because a friend shared a video clip as he drove through the park that captured its unique surface, and then, many years later, I happened to pass it myself and find it stir my subconscious. This is my interpretation of the face of Checkerboard Mesa.
