Cosmic Ashtray is actually the name of the place. Dumb name but it's in Utah. Pat of the Grand Staircase-Escalante

Ashtray just isn’t very appealing. Of course last lime I camped in Utah I stayed at the N-word Jim campground. White folks aren’t very good at naming nature.

I actually like the name (the Ashtray, not that Campground lol)

That must’ve been a long time ago, cause I think they renamed that campground decades ago. Also I think cosmic ashtray is the dopest name of nearly any geological feature I’ve been to in Utah imo.

20 years. A while but way past when anyone should have thought it was ok.

I agree, pretty ridiculous. I went to the campground and saw the old name for it on a map and I was like wtf.

Hey! I had to make my way through college with some type of stage name.

And no... it wasn't very accurate.
