Colburn's Butte, South Utah

Colburn's Butte, South Utah is a watercolor painting by the American artist Thomas Moran, created in 1873.

Done in watercolor, gouache, and graphite on wove paper, the work depicts Tucupit Point (formerly Colburn's Butte) in the Kolob Canyons, Zion National Park.

At the time, Moran was travelling to join an expedition of John Wesley Powell along the Colorado River.

Moran later made an engraving (heavily based on his watercolor) of the butte and published it in The Aldine.

[2] Colburn's Butte would later be renamed Tucupit Point, and the landmark now falls within the borders of Zion National Park.
