The Temple of the Sun is an iconic monolith located in Capitol Reef National Park, Utah. Rising to an elevation of 5,822 feet, this ancient Entrada sandstone formation provides an awe-inspiring backdrop to an unforgettably scenic atmosphere. It's remoteness and seclusion make it an ideal spot for exploring the area's untouched beauty and stargazing under the starry desert sky. The gentle slopes leading up to its peak offer adventurers a unique challenge with breathtaking views from the top. Here, one can take a step back in time and marvel at the power of nature that created this marvelous sight.
