Capitol Reef # 2

This picture was taken of the Capitol Dome on Route 24 as one travels within the Capitol Reef National Park, Utah.  This area of the Waterpocket Fold is where Capitol Reef National Park gets its name: Capitol for the white domes of Navajo Sandstone that resemble capitol building domes, and reef for the rocky cliffs which are barrier to travel, like a coral reef.  Personally I think this dome closely resembles Jabba the Hutt from Star Wars..
