Description
Sentinel Rock at Scott’s Bluff National Monument forms the south abutment of Mitchell Pass. The rock is named for the comparatively small block which stands like a watchtower against the sky that formed as the capping layers of strata eroded away. Sentinel Rock was originally referred to as Sentinel Hill. There is a tradition that this pinnacle, as well as that portion of Scott's Bluff which adjoins Mitchell Pass on the north, was used as an observation tower. This squat column on the end of the bluff is 4,390 feet above sea level.
Some digital effects were applied to the original image after the photograph was made. No electrons were harmed during the transition. Your finished photograph will not contain the watermark.
