Fun Facts

While some believe it was formed by a meteorite impact, others suggest it resulted from a salt dome upheaval.

The dome is characterized by its concentric rings and central uplift, making it a fascinating study for geologists.

The trail offers a 1.7-mile round trip hike with two viewpoints to observe the dome's unique structure.

This park is known for its dramatic desert landscape carved by the Colorado River.

The structure is estimated to be around 170 million years old, dating back to the Jurassic period.

The remote location and minimal light pollution make it an excellent place to observe the night sky.
