Highway 24

Southern Utah

We started on Highway 24 from Highway 12 going northward.
Highway 24 first crosses through Capitol Reef National Park.
Capitol Reef is a free park that seldom gets seen because of the popularity of nearby parks. Pocketed sandstone walls follow after Capitol Reef . Soon after, you get to Cainville, which has an impressive mesa, that I didn't get any pictures of. We stopped three times along the way, one at a fossil quarry, another at an ancient riverbed, and the third at a seldom visited mesa near Goblin Valley.

Highway 24 cephalopods

Our first stop along Highway 24.
This hillside was covered in cephalopod fossils.
Almost every "rock" you see is a fossilized sea-snail.


mesa sediments

This sediment layer had some interesting layers.
One was completely transparent like thin glass.

Beautiful pictures. I have traveled this highway many times but could never find your first stop location. I wish I could find it but no success so far.Your pictures have made me a fan of route 24. I travel it whenever I can. The views from the mesa are great. Cheers John Buckmaster

Big Job ! Some landviews have similarity with South Algerian places.That mean the result of the same geological activities ? Possible and the animals and human traces ?? Why similar ? Best greetings from the same hot area.
