Looking out into the vast expanse of buttes and canyons, with intermingling clouds passing through the valleys.
The small pantry built into a crevice near the top of a hillside of earthen rock. From a distance it becomes nearly invisible as it blends in. Each alcove is roughly 2 ft tall and encloses an area maybe 5 ft by 5 ft.
Low clouds climb over a nearby butte with a canyon and another large butte behind it. A large hill may be seen of piling rocks and sediment under the sheer cliff wall as it breaks away.
A view towards what appears to be a petrified dome nearby to Aztec Butte, with a canyon lined by steep cliffs seen in the distance.

Sign post describing Upheaval Dome with diagrams which will be read left to right, top to bottom: A Mystery Upheaval Dome is a mystery The rock layers below you are fractured and tilted, forming a circular depression more than two miles wide. How did it form? Scientists propose two potential causes: a salt dome that cracked and tilted the rock over time, or a violent meteorite impact that instantly fractured the rock. Recent findings support the meteorite hypothesis, but questions remain. With more research, we may solve the mystery of this crater and others on our planet. A slow-moving salt dome? -About 300 million years ago, a salty inland sea covered the area. -A large basin trapped the sea, which then evaporated, leaving behind thousands of feet of salt -Wind and water deposited more sediment, pushing down on the softer salt layer and causing it to dome upwards. -Over time the salt rose, fracturing and distorting the rock layers in its path. -Water eroded the salt and overlying sediment, exposing the distorted crater visible today. An instantaneous meteorite impact? -About 200 million years ago, a meteor hurtled towards earth. -The meteor hit the ground with so much force it vaporized on impact. -The force of the impact fractured the rock, creating a large crater. -Rock layers rebounded inward and upward to fill the void. -Erosion exposed the tilted broken core of the impact site.
A view showcasing the majority of the dome as well as a portion of the two mile wide crater surrounding it. Some Junipers and shrubs may be seen growing along the crater rim on the closest side.
A view away from the dome area, with large rock outcrops looming over an unseen cliff and a few small patches of snow visible. Behind the outcrops in the distance, several towering buttes may be seen that almost look like a painting through the mild haze.
An almost top-down view of the anticline within its large crater of red rock. Steep slopes and contours may be seen all along the dome.

Receding fog reveals more of the steep cliffs along this horseshoe, with a few tall and skinny spires to the left in front of a distant mountain range. The rising sun sits in between the fog and the clouds in the center of frame.
Half of the horseshoe shaped cliff may be seen in this photo, wit the sun burning off both fog below and the clouds above it.
A view through part of Mesa Arch towards some of the sandstone towers rising from the fog below.
A V-shaped intersection of two sections of cliff wall frames the valley fog below, while the rising sun has cleared a large portion of clouds from above it to begin the day.
