Monitor and Merrimac buttes, taken from Hwy 313 in Sevenmile Canyon
Monitor and Merrimac Buttes (Moab, Utah)
Monitor Butte is on the right. This landscape atracted me the moment I saw it during my first visit in 2002. One of the goals of my March 2007 trip to Moab was to hike from the photographer's position (at the side of the road) to the buttes and then around them. Success was doubtful because of unseen routes from one layer of rock to another. As it turned out, the hike was easy.
