It can be seen by following any of three scenic routes in the park. One route takes an elevation in 5,400 feet and ends at a parking area at the end of a dirt road. There you can see a famous landmark that goes by the name of Golden Throne . It is covered in golden sandstone that makes up it's name. The Waterpocket Fold lies east of the town of Torrey three miles west and just southeast of the Middle Desert . This area is amazing for hiking. SEE ALSO |
