If I had to guess; the iron rich orange sand is heavier than the sandstone sand and remains in the pit, while the lighter sandstone sand / dust gets ejected from the pit by the wind. Kind like the worlds largest wind powered gold pan / concentrator without the gold. The orange sand would be like the black sands and gold in a gold pan after panning off the lighter stuff. Cheers!
I thought a similar thing. Like it's a giant air powered shaker deck like the placer miners use in areas with no water. Speaking of water, you can see where the old river used to come into the bowl at. Wonder how deep the sand is there and what might be under it.
Cosmic Ashtray! I've been here before, and this cool sandstone dome just east of it. Not the worst hike out there. Cheers from the Salt Gulch, Boulder.
You must mean the drone footage WITH sound, unless you’ve got the volume turned down so low, that you can’t hear the sound of the wind blowing across the drone’s microphone 😁

Wow, what a wonderful landscape, rocks, shapes, colors, designs --- the island rock to me looked like a bird's head immersed in an orange bath/sea from the drone vies on the side and from when you sat on the side toward it. Nature is the best!
That is awesome!! Thanks for going out there and sharing with all of us. I liked your drone shots and I also liked that you used wind noise instead of music. Much more enjoyable.
man, i'm so glad i found your channel. thanks to your videos, the dreams of returning to the west/southwest feel more attainable. i would spend hours on google maps just exploring the world and hoping one day i could see it for myself. content like this keeps the fire in me to push towards finally getting that truck camper and exploring what the beautiful goddess gaia has gifted us here in the usa. please never stop searching!!!
Pretty sure the orange is residue from the decay of iron, which is clearly richly embedded in the formations surrounding & above this uniquely beautiful feature.
I'm loving these videos atm! I've always been a part of a family that travels a ton, so just watching nice quality content about the Western US is perfect for me right now! Keep it up and keep making the exact same kind of content, it's good stuff.
Thank You for making the journey out to that incredible site. What an amazing feature. I'm a devoted follower of Roger Spurr's work with Mudfossils and a friend. I'm sure you are aware of Roger's channel Mudfossil University on RUclips. It would be great if you and Roger talked to discuss the things you find and places you go. I know he would be very interested in the things you track down. I will pass this video on to him and other Mudfossil researchers. Thanks again, great video.
Another cool place with epic geology. Wow! That hole with the orange sand is fascinating. The rock in the middle looks like a bird head. It’s so surreal looking. Great adventure.
Thank you so much for showing this to us!!! Absolutely incredible! I want to explore this in person. That huge rock in the center looks like a petrified head from some prehistoric creature. My imagination was running wild. Imagining that head waking up and terrifying you and your friend. Amazing!!!
From a distance, it looks a lot like when a bullet hits a block of clay. Those swirls of pink and red also looks like when dried out red clay is wedged into wet clay. That is huge and so beautiful. Being an old fat man, I'd fall into it trying to get down those steps......and never be able to climb back out. Of course, I'd never survive the hike in, so......... Great video, awesome subject. Thank you sir!
Spice pit fer sure! Thanks fer taking me there. I used to do allot of hiking and exploring but haven't been able to because of health reasons. Thanx again!😁😉
Wow, truly amazing landscapes and Rock formations! The colors are just insanely beautiful! Thank you for taking us along, I am in Florida and I don't see anything even remotely like this LOL ❤❤❤. 😊😊
Thunderbird’s nest. Colors are absolutely beautiful. Neat how the powdery sad got stuck inside. For me it looks like meteor slammed into soft mud. Reminds me a birds nest with an egg..
WOW thanks for taking us along. What a unique place to visit and see in person. I was surprised when you set the camera up and walked from the camera how "small" you seemed. That whole piece of earth was great to see from your vehicle to the orange sand.
Such a cool place, the geology is incredible with all the patterns, swirls and lines. The orange sand just tops it off. What an amazing place! Great job you guys!
Another great video! I was there a couple years ago. One of the stranger features I've ever seen. This place has a lot of names but my favorite is the Cosmic Ashtray.
I can't find a site that specifies why the sand is orange. My guess is it could be high sulfur content. I have a piece of flint with an inclusion of sulfur that's this color.
I like “Spice pit” better than the “Cosmic ashtray.” Pretty cool you got to see it with no other tracks in the sand! And those spherical concretions are more commonly called Moqui marbles. From where you seem to have parked that was a LONG day! Thanks for sharing!!!
I imagined the rock as the head of a dinosaur that was trapped in the sand when all the water evaporated. A very cool spot so thanks for sharing it with us. Just found your channel. Good stuff!!
I just discovered your channel and am loving it! Something you should look into is "Virginia Park" in Canyonlands. It's something that I've been really fascinated with. It's an area that's closed to the public and you have to know how to get into it to enter. It's by Chelser Park but you enter in through a "wormhole" formation. I have a friend who is a botanist that got permission to enter this restricted area. He studied plant life in the area that is virtually untouched by humans, save a select few. Just something that I think you'd find interesting.
I just recently found you and I instantly hit subscribe. I am going to love your channel. I am an amateur nature/landscape photographer, lover of nature, and a grandmother. As much as I would love to I can't physically get to these places and I so appreciate you bringing it to me. Your shots are beautiful and what a bonus to have a drone camera. Thank you and I look forward to more of your adventures.
Great video - I am a big fan of the Dune series so the Spice Pit sounds good. I've seen it referred to as the "Cosmic Ashtray". Loved the iron protruding from the sandstone - I've never seen that before. We've been in Escalante-Staircase several times in the last ten years and never even heard of this place. Southern Utah has so many things to see that are, to some extent, "below the radar".
Several parallels lines of thought may indicate Geomorphology and the way the landscape looks it may have been manipulated either by prehistoric lava flows( because the molten iron layers) and sedimentary and metamorphic rock patterns or long exposure to water or ice ( because the overlapping sections) for millions of years, need to take samples , but definitely is a beautiful and interesting landscape .
9:46 I bet this area was covered with layers of clay. Then an iron rich meteorite hit and created that opening. Throwing hot molten iron all around it! 18:50 After seeing your fly over I am convinced that area was filled with a thick layer of clay that was approaching dryness with still a bit of soupiness to it. Then a meteorite hit it, but the clay held strong. The center portion is the clay rising up and then solidifying. The orange sand is caused by the iron rich deposits beneath it. A meteorite strike would also account for all the iron in the area! I’d call it “Bird’s Nest” or “Dragon’s Lair”. As the rock in the middle looks like the head of a bird or some creature.
The orange water is probably from minerals. From what I understand, the iron in the minerals "rust" and make it that color. Amazing place! I definitely see a large bird head when I look at the "island".
One of my favorite things about living in the Utah desert is the petrified sand dunes. Snow Canyon State Park has beautiful white and red stripes (due to the iron or lack of iron like you mention in your vid) in its petrified dunes, with intricate lines waving in different directions, and tons of moqui marbles/balls. I've never heard of the location in your video, and I've never seen the iron separate from the sandstone, that's pretty sick! Anyway, love your vids. It's really cool learning more about where I live, like when things formed and how, what species are around, the ancient history, etc. through your vids :) I'm not sure where the location is in your video though, I might have missed that detail, but with it being so remote it's probably pretty far from my town
I’m glad my videos are informational for you! I’ve been to snow canyon and you’re right, it’s super cool to see the dunes there. I’m not disclosing this videos location, but if you do some digging I bet you can find info out there just like I did
Another nice video! Thanks for showing us and explaining the formation. I assume you were following GPS coordinates to that location, but we never see how you are navigating. Even with GPS, it's impressive to actually make it there! Great drone footage and panoramic shots as well! I'm traveling and seeing cool stuff from my comfy home, lol
That rock in the middle looks like the head of a bird. In your capture from inside the feature it seems like I saw native steps carved in the wall of the feature
~14:25 Those swirls look like part of the Starry Night painting by Van Gogh. Wow I wish I could survive there for a while so as to experience it in all light conditions and weather.
This was amazing! Thank you! I wonder if that orange sand is such a colour because of the iron, and whether the sand is at all magnetic? So much bigger than it at first appeared too! Best wishes from Scotland!
It would be interesting to take some sand from the pit and from outside it and have them tested for the difference. And the joke balls also. Thanks for the great vid.

Your constant descriptions of different things makes you stand out from other desert trekker channels. ❤️
Thanks so much! I have no idea how deep it is, I hear its 200 feet, but I think that is just down to the sand. No one probably knows. Glad you like the channel, that means a lot
Awesome place! Another guess as to how this formation came to be: it looks like a huge bubble of gas bursted from a lava stream and part of just solidified.
I really enjoyed the video. You had a really interesting geological site with interesting rocks and formations along the way. You could spend a little more time on those anamolous black rocks and the grid formation in the outcropping. This place reminded me of the Mars surface videos a little bit. Why not call the pit "The Dragon's Head"?
If I had to guess; the iron rich orange sand is heavier than the sandstone sand and remains in the pit, while the lighter sandstone sand / dust gets ejected from the pit by the wind. Kind like the worlds largest wind powered gold pan / concentrator without the gold. The orange sand would be like the black sands and gold in a gold pan after panning off the lighter stuff.

Smart, sounds pretty plausible to me
I was just finna ask if that was why

acknowledged, I guess reading previous replies was in order well said TJCeeJay
How do you know it's not gold?
Cosmic Ashtray! I've been here before, and this cool sandstone dome just east of it. Not the worst hike out there. Cheers from the Salt Gulch, Boulder.
I love the drone footage without sound. Very eerie, and no one else does it. Keep up the awesome work!!
The other 2 YT Desert Trekers do.
You must mean the drone footage WITH sound, unless you’ve got the volume turned down so low, that you can’t hear the sound of the wind blowing across the drone’s microphone 😁
@ - Without music. What's the appropriate emoji to use?
Smiling monser-head pit! Looks like an alien skull in the pit. Beautiful area, thanks for sharing it with us.
Alien ? you mean hollywood version of a alien, since no real photos of space aliens exist.

i was thinking the same, like a lizard people skull.
I was thinking a 'bird skull'.
Baby Godzilla
Great vid mate. Beautiful what mother nature builds without our ugly intervention. 😊
Looks like a crow’s head in the middle. Thanks for taking me along on your hike.
I also thought it looked like a birds head in the middle with the carved out spot as the eye.
The rock in the middle looks like a dragon head! Love the views!

That is awesome!! Thanks for going out there and sharing with all of us. I liked your drone shots and I also liked that you used wind noise instead of music. Much more enjoyable.
Thanks! I like the wind noise too, wish I could go back and edit it in my old videos that have music still.

The orange sand formation is just amazing, it's got to be one of the coolest places I've ever seen!
Another great one. Thanks! I read the Frank Herbert novels when they first came out in the 60's 😊
That’s impressive, I’ve only read the first two. Need to get into the craziness of the later ones
Pretty sure the orange is residue from the decay of iron, which is clearly richly embedded in the formations surrounding & above this uniquely beautiful feature.

Easily one of my favorite new channels. Awesome work keep it up.

One of the coolest geologic places I’ve been to, glad you enjoyed!
Great job, you caught some really beautiful shots. Very thoughtful of whoever carved those step holes.
God's Mill
Another great video! I was there a couple years ago. One of the stranger features I've ever seen. This place has a lot of names but my favorite is the Cosmic Ashtray.
Yeah, I was gonna say that's the name I have heard it called.
I followed because there are so many comments like this praising the great video excited to watch more of their content 🥰
👍👍👍
Yeah, that’s the Navajo name for it, right? Such a beautiful name for such an awe inspiring structure.
I can't find a site that specifies why the sand is orange. My guess is it could be high sulfur content. I have a piece of flint with an inclusion of sulfur that's this color.

Outstanding!! Great hike, excellent footage! You're gonna go far. Oh by the way, you may want to go back because all that sand is Gold dust!!! 🥇
This is so cool. Thanks for share. I love the drone shots ❤
Great adventure! Thanks for taking this old man along.
14:55 wow! Good perspective. It really is WAY bigger than it looks.
Such a cool unique geologic anomoly, thanks for showing it to me TT !!
I imagined the rock as the head of a dinosaur that was trapped in the sand when all the water evaporated. A very cool spot so thanks for sharing it with us. Just found your channel. Good stuff!!

Great Fremen moves!...and that orange sand color, it's like vitamin C orange.

From the 18:33 viewpoint. It looks uncannily like an eye.
Pretty cool. Great video of a great find!
What an awesome place! Thank you!
smashing this man, keep the vids coming
Awesome video man! This channel is going places for sure. You'll be a well-known and established youtuber in no time. Cheers from Draper, Utah.
That means a lot! I sure hope so, that's the goal
“The Crows Nest” since the middle piece looks like crow’s skull
It does have the same white color as well

The rock inside the hole looks like a Lizard's head! Very unique! Thanks for sharing this adventure.
Amazing findings from a pioneer engineer.

Your videos are consistently incredible.
Haha thank you so much
The large rock formation in the middle looks like a giant alien skull. I see an indentation for the eye socket, the jaw jutting out and a nose.
Not an Alien just a dinosaur.
so amazing the watchful eagle’s eye pit
A natural monument to the beauty of passing time- Dragon's Eye
On describing the pine nuts..."they're not terrible." That is a high endorsement for most desert foods it seems.
Like seeing shapes in clouds I see the skull of Godzilla in that rock at 10:44.
Several people seem to be seeing godzilla
Wicked cool landscape!
It is called the Cosmic Navel. Also referred to as "The Bellybutton of the Earth".
Very cool thanks for sharing!
Bizarre. Unique, Fantastic!
Agreed!
Absolutely amazing!
Love the Dune references, and the sand walking
Nice sand walk! Spice must flow!
Several parallels lines of thought may indicate Geomorphology and the way the landscape looks it may have been manipulated either by prehistoric lava flows( because the molten iron layers) and sedimentary and metamorphic rock patterns or long exposure to water or ice ( because the overlapping sections) for millions of years, need to take samples , but definitely is a beautiful and interesting landscape .
From a certain angle that middle part looks like a baby dinosaur popping its head out of the sand. Great Video!
Love all the windy shots from above they are epic without silly music of AI narrators. Pure badass dude!
Spice pitch sounds great!
9:46 I bet this area was covered with layers of clay. Then an iron rich meteorite hit and created that opening.

I’d call it “Bird’s Nest” or “Dragon’s Lair”. As the rock in the middle looks like the head of a bird or some creature.
Wow incredible! The rock formation in the centre looks like an eagles or a birds head.
Cool video. Planet Earth is a Trip on how it was made.
This was absolutely awesome
Thanks man, your video’s are great. I can’t go where you go so that’s again
Looks very much like a dragon’s eye. Interesting!
I would call it
THE TURTLE'S NEST.
Very cool. 🐢 🐢 🐢
Great video.
The orange water is probably from minerals. From what I understand, the iron in the minerals "rust" and make it that color.
Amazing place! I definitely see a large bird head when I look at the "island".
-cosmic ashtray- Eye of Sauron
eye of sauron is a good one, I don't know how I didn't think of that
I would pan the south side of that for gold .
Thanks for sharing ✌️❤️🙏
Neat find! 🎉
Solid content mate👌
The middle really does look like a giant bird's head. Very cool.

@@TopoTravelersthanks for not hot spotting it. Too many people on RUclips literally ruining areas.
It looks to me like damage possibly caused by some sort of meteorite. Great scenery and footage by the way.
I liked the Dune style gait.
Good movie
Great Book
It looks like godzilla's head sticking out of the ground,very cool
Another nice video! Thanks for showing us and explaining the formation. I assume you were following GPS coordinates to that location, but we never see how you are navigating. Even with GPS, it's impressive to actually make it there! Great drone footage and panoramic shots as well! I'm traveling and seeing cool stuff from my comfy home, lol
Yeah I marked the approximate gps location beforehand. Glad you liked the vid!
That rock in the middle looks like the head of a bird. In your capture from inside the feature it seems like I saw native steps carved in the wall of the feature
The steps on the side that I used are from search and rescue, though I could have missed some native ones
Fabulous drone vision ..awesome explore ..
That's the first thing that I thought also.
I was expecting it to devour him.
Kinda like Jabba The Hut😂😂
~14:25 Those swirls look like part of the Starry Night painting by Van Gogh. Wow I wish I could survive there for a while so as to experience it in all light conditions and weather.
awesome video man
It would be so much fun to paint yourself orange and pop out of the sand screaming like "The Descent" monster on someone visiting this place.
This was amazing! Thank you! I wonder if that orange sand is such a colour because of the iron, and whether the sand is at all magnetic? So much bigger than it at first appeared too! Best wishes from Scotland!
It would be interesting to take some sand from the pit and from outside it and have them tested for the difference. And the joke balls also. Thanks for the great vid.
Loved the sand-walk! She definitely seems to have it down pat. Like someone else said, the pit might be a petrified shai-halud mouth. The sound of the wind during the drone shots was a really neat effect.
Do you happen to know how deep the pit is? Like beneath the sand?
LOVE your channel btw. An easy sub! Your constant descriptions of different things makes you stand out from other desert trekker channels. ❤️
Thanks so much! I have no idea how deep it is, I hear its 200 feet, but I think that is just down to the sand. No one probably knows. Glad you like the channel, that means a lot
Awesome place! Another guess as to how this formation came to be: it looks like a huge bubble of gas bursted from a lava stream and part of just solidified.
i thoroughly enjoyed, thanks
Utah is delightful in Sping and Fall. It isn’t necessary go go in only Summer or Winter.
I really enjoyed the video. You had a really interesting geological site with interesting rocks and formations along the way. You could spend a little more time on those anamolous black rocks and the grid formation in the outcropping. This place reminded me of the Mars surface videos a little bit. Why not call the pit "The Dragon's Head"?
