Towering a staggering 10,000 ft above sea level, Powell Point can be seen from well over 100 miles away. Named after the explorer and geologist, John Wesley Powell, this incredible beacon was known as Pink Point by locals before it got its official name. It gets its salmon pink color from hematite, a form of iron oxide. #geologicalwonders #escalante #dixienationalforest #utahisrad #roamtheplanet #moodygrams | Brète Thomas
