A BLM Hatch Point rim over the Colorado River anticline — looking at Dead Horse Point country from the east, not from the state-park peninsula.

Field note

The Colorado is a thin thread in a stone fold. A single butte stands in the trench. The Hatch Point road is gravel; Hatch Point Campground sits on the approach. This plate is the BLM Anticline Overlook, not Dead Horse Point and not Island in the Sky.

Anticline Overlook reads the Colorado River fold from Hatch Point. The road is gravel; Hatch Point Campground sits on the approach. A lone butte stands in the trench; Dead Horse Point sits on the far peninsula. This plate is the BLM anticline rim, not the state-park point and not Island in the Sky.
