The last mountains
Article Abstract:
The Henry Mountains in Utah were discovered in 1869 by a group led by John Wesley Powell. The mountains were formed by a volcanic eruption, but the lava lifted rock beds because it did not flow to the surface. The range includes Mt. Ellsworth, Mt. Holmes, Mt. Hillers, Mt. Pennell, and Mt. Ellen.
