17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Agathla

Nothing prepared me to this sight. No documentary, movie or photo. I gasped when I first saw it briefly between two big light pink rocks while I was driving on road 160 on our way to Blanding. After Kayenta we stopped and I could not get my eyes of the Agathla Peak (also known as El Capitan). I had to go back there before living the area and I did. I have no word to describe what I felt in front of her.
