A year ago, on a drive from Capitol Reef National Park to Green River, UT, I saw a beautiful mesa on the western side of Highway 24 near Hanksville, UT. It was still early morning, the sun was shining brightly, and upper atmosphere winds whipped clouds into fascinating swirls. Here are two shots of the mesa which was named Factory Butte by early Mormon settlers who thought it resembled a woolen mill.
