Canyonlands Pictures, USA

Part of the reef-like rock that gives this National Park its name.

Capitol Reef is a massive National Park crossed by a long, narrow but 1,000ft high [330m] layered wall of red, gold and white rock - known as the Waterpocket Fold - that gave the park its last name. One of the park's domes, shaped not unlike the US Capitol building - if you were boss-eyed and drunk as a skunk - contributed the Capitol bit.

Green rock, Capitol Reef, Utah, USA

Green rock makes an unexpected entry into the viewfinder.

Capitol Reef has a pleasant $5 paved drive [25mile round trip] to the Capitol Gorge if time is lacking to fully explore the place. With stops for pictures and a short walk this could be a couple of relaxed hours.
There is a very pleasant camp site at the entry to the park.

ET does exist, Capitol Reef, Utah, USA

Solid proof that ET does exist and the Fremont petroglyphs are right on the button.
