Battlement Mesa

Battlement Mesa[1] is a large prominent mesa in western Colorado in the United States.

It sits along the Garfield-Mesa county line, between the Colorado River to the north and Plateau Creek to the south.

It is visible south of Interstate 70, visible between the towns of Rifle and Parachute, stretching for approximately 15 miles (24 km) east-west.

The mesa is similar in geology to the nearby Grand Mesa to the south, and to the Roan Cliffs to the north.
