Boat Mesa Details
Does Boat Mesa really resemble a boat? Maybe an upside-down one -- it's really in the eye of the beholder. In any event, there's no denying the prominence of this massive rock formation, which rises more than 8,000 feet above the hoodoos of Fairyland Canyon. The mesa, easily seen from Sunrise Point or Sunset Point, is topped with erosion-resistant conglomerate rock and is your constant companion as you circle it on the Fairyland Loop Trail.
