Kodachrome Basin is a small, popular state park situated a few miles south
of UT 12 due east of Bryce Canyon, and reached by a paved road. The park
contains eroded, multicolored rock formations in various shades of red,
yellow, pink, white and brown; together with the (usually) deep blue sky and
occasional green vegetation this combination led the National Geographical
Society to name the area, with the consent of the Kodak Film Corp. The one
unique feature of the park is the presence of many spires or 'chimneys' of
rock, known as sand pipes, which are thought to be solidified sediment that
filled ancient springs or geysers, left standing after the softer surrounding
Entrada sandstone rock weathered away.
