The picturesque red-rock valley, accessible via a rough outback road in south-central Utah, boasts not only a pair of towering "cathedrals,” or monoliths, known as the Temple of the Sun and the Temple of the Moon, but also a mountain of glass.

this photograph, taken on Sept. 12, 2015, the paired, pyramid-like “temples” rise beyond the gleaming flanks of a hillock dubbed Glass Mountain, even though it's only about 15 ft (4.5 m) high.
