Especially from above.
I’ve driven past this area in Utah many times, passing Factory Butte and its badlands. But when you observe the landscape from above, a whole new world comes alive.
Erosion from wind, water and time have carved a masterpiece. The soft soil below is of Mancos Shale which produces a blue-grey color while the more erosion-resistant yellow Emery sandstone protects the tops.
Look for flyover video later today.

What dramatic scenery and photos. Are the flat top mountains volcanoes?

Thanks Katelon. There were volcanoes in the area years ago but these buttes are not. They’re very flat on top
