Chesler Park Peak. The Needles district of Canyonlands National Park, San Juan County, Utah, United States.
Desert Buttes and Alpine Peaks Combo. The varied Utahn landscapes are a bonanza for the film industry; the landscapes of many countries condensed into one single state. Castleton Tower and La Sal Mountains, Grand County, Utah, United States.
The lofty sandstone tower, named The Titan, has been the background for countless movies and commercials. A favorite spot for photographers at sunset, as this prominent red rock turns even redder. This giant pinnacle is a magnet for rock climbers, with some of them choosing the quick way (probably not the motive), to get back to their vehicles, by base jumping. The base jumper’s open canopy gives a sense of scale to the 274-meter-tall rock. Fisher Towers, Grand County, Utah, United States.
West of Salt Lake City, the Great Salt Lake is a terminal lake (also called sink lake or endorheic lake) with high salinity; it is the largest saltwater lake in the United States. Its high salinity results from the fact that it has no outlet and that the solutes brought by the rivers remain in the lake, which loses its water only through evaporation in the semi-arid climate of Utah. Northern Utah, United States.
Landscape of striking colors, contrasting between the blue of the evaporation ponds and the red of the surrounding rocks. The blue is due to cobalt added to a slurry of extracted potash to accelerate the drying before harvesting the precious resource. The red is due to the high-content of iron oxyde in the surrounding sedimentary rock. Moab, Grand County, Utah, United States.
Factory Butte is an isolated, imposing butte towering high above the badlands. The butte is mostly shale from the Jurassic Mancos Formation with the top capped by Cretaceous Emery Sandstone.
