The Benonite Hills, which are located in Capitol Reef National Park, are banded hills in hues of brown, red, purple, gray and green. They can be found along a dirt road after fording the Fremont River in a 4-wheel drive vehicle. Fortunately, I was on a National Parks Photography Expeditions that provided the transportation to “roads less traveled”. I’m not sure I would have the nerve to drive across a river even if I was driving an appropriate vehicle.
I think because the bands on the hills are so linear, I found myself looking for curves to contrast will all the lines
Location Details
Couldn’t find Benonite Hills on Google Maps or the National Park map. The closest reference I found was the location of the River Ford to access Hartnet road. The Benonite Hills must be somewhere along that road.
A search based on the GPS coordinates of one of my photos, noted by the big red marker, shows a location slightly out of the park boundaries
