Butler Wash Bridge

From the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS):




Butler Wash Bridge — Captured during a flash flood, this is a shot of Butler Wash Bridge in San Juan County, Utah. The water in the small stream went from not flowing to torrent in just a few short minutes during this shot. The arc itself was developed in early Jurassic age Navajo Sandstone. You can learn more about the geology of Utah at the geology.utah.gov site.
