Golden Throne, Mountain summit in Capitol Reef National Park, United States.
Golden Throne reaches an elevation of 7,042 feet, featuring a prominent dome-shaped formation composed of gold-stained Navajo Sandstone within the Waterpocket Fold.
Native American tribes left petroglyphs on rock surfaces around Golden Throne, marking their presence in this region before European settlement began.
The mountain's throne-like silhouette represents a natural monument within Capitol Reef National Park, drawing photographers and outdoor enthusiasts throughout the year.
A two-mile trail leads visitors beneath the summit, offering direct access to viewpoints and geological formations within the Colorado Plateau region.
The mountain's gold-stained surface differs from typical red or white sandstone formations, resulting from Carmel Formation deposits overlaying Navajo Sandstone.
