Thelma and Louise plateau (an unofficial name) is the place where the final scene of its
namesake movie was filmed (see https://pbase.com/listorama/2004ut_shafer_thelma ). It
is a mostly level, irregularly-shaped area inside a big bend of the Colorado River. At
its southeast edge there is a little prow pointed at the river; it is there that the
car in the movie went sailing into the abyss (the river canyon).

But the point is merely one aspect of this area; the plateau stretches away to the
south and west to the edges of stream canyons whose surface features, caused by
millions of years of erosion, boggle the mind. I came here initially just to inspect
the Goose Neck, but seeing the drainage features hooked me on the idea of exploring
the landscape on its own terms; this is covered in another gallery.
