Waterpocket Fold

This line of rock outcropping thrust up from the surface of the earth extends for slightly more than 100 miles in the southeastern desert of Utah. It is the beginning of a huge landform, a cliff formation of rock known as the Waterpocket Fold that climbs to an elevation of 5745 feet. This enormous land feature can be explored in Capitol Reef National Park, Wayne County, Utah. Some of the magical cliffs, domes, gorges, canyons, rivers and washes in this lesser known national park are shown in subsequent photographs in this blog.
