STS040-151-123 (5-14 June 1991) --- This large format view shows parts of northern Arizona and southern Utah. San Juan River, Lake Powell and Monument Valley are visible. Water of Lake Powell can be seen filling the valleys of the Colorado and San Juan Rivers at the top of the image. The darker green areas indicate high, forested country of the lone Navajo Mountain (center left) and Black Mesa (bottom right). Strip mines can be seen south of the rim of Black Mesa. Monument Valley lies between the San Juan River and Black Mesa. Shadows thrown by the individual steep-sided hills make them stand out in the scene.
