Gregory Butte

Gregory Butte is a 4,651-foot butte of Entrada Sandstone in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area that rises nearly 1,000 feet above the lake, just uplake (east) of Padre Bay. Before Lake Powell filled, it stood inside a meander of the Colorado River. It is named for geologist Herbert E. Gregory, who mapped much of the Colorado Plateau.
