On the way from Kayenta to Monument Valley Park, it is difficult to miss the stand alone peak called El Capitan. Imposing block emerging from a flat landscape, there was hopefully some signs of human life to give a sense of scale, otherwise difficult to estimate.
Factory Butte
We were driving on the Utah State Road 24 since Capitol Reef, when we left turned on a dirt road called Coal Mine road to stop the car. Without speaking, we walked a few meters under the summer heat. In front of us, in the middle of a lunar landscape, a gigantic and unexpected vessel…
