Golden Throne (mountain)
The Golden Throne is a mountain in Capitol Reef National Park in Wayne County, Utah, United States. It is a rock formation dome made of a gold color stained Navajo Sandstone, which is particularly special because normally the sandstone is creamy white or red. The presence of a small amount of the Carmel Formation on top of the Navajo Sandstone is the reason for this staining.
A trail runs below the mountain. The summit is in elevation and is part of the Waterpocket Fold, a nearly monocline.
