Description
In terms of geology, the sloped grey clay sides of this mesa in southern Utah are an example of the Blue Gate member of Mancos Shale. The mesa is capped by the Emery Sandstone member of the Mancos. This desert landscape, very lunar in appearance, can be found east of Capitol Reef National Park; quite different from the red sandstone formations found in the park itself, it has a strange beauty of its own.
