Red Castle quartzite over Lower Red Castle Lake

Fig. 1Red Castle quartzite over Lower Red Castle Lake

Landform

A named quartzite castle over Lower Red Castle Lake — the fortress, not the live High Uintas range plate.

Field note

The wall is red and layered like a keep. The lower lake takes the shadow. This is the named castle, not the Naturalist Basin range view and not Kings Peak.
