Capitol Reef's Majestic Butte

Layers of sedimentary rock sculpted by time rise dramatically into the sky at Capitol Reef National Park in Utah. A rugged butte commands attention as it towers over undulating mesas that glow under the soft light of early morning or late afternoon sun. Sparse desert flora dots the landscape adding splashes of green against the earthy tones of the terrain. This serene scene is devoid of visible wildlife or human activity emphasizing its untouched beauty.
