Church Rock

San Juan County, UT

Coordinate verified

Solitary ~200-foot Entrada sandstone tower standing alone beside US-191 between Moab and Monticello, near the UT-211 turnoff for Canyonlands Needles and Newspaper Rock. A classic roadside desert landmark (sometimes tied in local lore to early utopian settlement stories) that reads as a freestanding ‘steeple’ from the highway.
