Description
The Castle is a rock formation in Capitol Reef National Park, Utah; the varied colors of its three main layers are striking and catch the eye from a distance as well as up close. This view is of the west aspect. The upper section, including the castle, is Wingate sandstone. It sits atop a gray-green layer (volcanic ash), the Chinle Formation layer. The rich red-brown rock at the bottom, also sandstone, is known as the Moenkopi Formation.
