Hell's Backbone, Henry Mountains, Utah | Photography of Utah

Photo: Sunrise from Hell's Backbone, Henry Mountains

Henry Mountains, Sunrise

Purchase Print

The small chain of mountains on the left side is the Henries.  They were the last mountains in the United States to be named, and their name was given by Explorer John Wesley Powell to honor a friend.

This image was shot from the road over Hell's backbone between Boulder and Escalante Utah.  That route is a very scenic road that travels through several state and national parks and rec areas.  It's along the route I travel during the desert photo tour.  This image had no filters, all natural color.  Image was taken on a Nikon D100, 1/2.5th, F/5.3, ISO 200, Nikkon 24-120mm at 70MM.  Shot to RAW, no post processing changes.
