Bear’s Ears

With Natural Bridges complete, it was time to head north on Utah SR-95 towards Torrey and Capitol Reef National Park. Since it was only a 3 hour or so drive, there was time to stop and take pictures along the way.  First up were the two prominent buttes in the distance called the Bears Ears. Several Native American tribal groups consider this area sacred and include it in their oral traditions. The Bears Ears can be seen from as far east as Mesa Verde in Colorado and as far south as Monument Valley in Arizona and are important landmarks for travelers in the Four Corners region.
