Temples
of the Moon (left) and the Sun. Cathedral Valley, Capital Reef National Park, Utah.
These towers of Entrada sandstone are the remnants of the larger plateau that has eroded over time. These towers rise roughly 400 feet from the valley floor.
Our original intention was to spend the night in the boonies and take star photos over these temples. However, the day called for rain in the afternoon so we did a quick day trip. No disappointment because this place is magical. Total isolation, lonely dirt road, and silence. We did not want to get stuck out here when it rains because the roads turn to mush so left in time to avoid that. We will return . . .
