Description
A panoramic view of Tower Butte near Lake Powell in Page, Arizona. The image was taken while on a helicopter tour which included landing on top of Tower Butte, an incredible natural structure rising from the desert earth. We were able to experience incredible views from this rocky outcrop which stands over 5,000 feet above sea level.
We saw some wonderful sights of Lake Powell and its inlets. The 360-degree panoramic view this high is unlike any other - with vistas of Glen Canyon, Lake Powell, Padre Bay, the Grand Staircase Escalante, and the LeChee Rock as far as the eye can see.
Formed over millions of years – Buttes are plateaus that have naturally eroded into smaller, isolated landforms. As rain and streams slowly cut through a plateau, the hard top layers, called “caprocks,” resist the weathering and protect the soft layers below it. Under the protection of the caprock, the butte can stay relatively the same height as it did before. Eventually, all buttes will become slender spires and its debris will be turned into talus or scree. After that, the spire will succumb to erosion and crumble to the ground.
