Grand Wash Road

Capitol Reef National Park, Utah. This dirt road leads into the Grand Wash, a narrow steep-walled canyon. Holes can be seen at the mouth of Grand Wash at a base of the layer of yellowish-gray rock. These mark the abandoned Oyler Uranium Mine, opened in 1901 when uranium was used in some patent medicines.
