Kodachrome Basin is a spectacle of towering sandstone chimneys, changing in color and shadow with the day's mood- from red-tinged spires against a blue sky, to soft evening light settling over the desert. This color and contrast inspired prompted the National Geographic Society in 1949, with consent from the Kodak Film Corp., to name the park Kodachrome Nearly 70 monolithic spires, ranging from six to 170 feet in height, jut up from the valley floor or protrude from the sandstone. These natural towers stand like stone sentries overlooking the park and create a backdrop that is sure to delight the senses and spark imagination. The redrock and semi-desert climate make this state park attractive to visitors all year.Kodachrome Basin is a spectacle of towering sandstone chimneys, changing in color and shadow with the day's mood- from red-tinged spires against a blue sky, to soft evening light settling over the desert.
