Solomon Temple (Grand Canyon)

Solomon Temple is a 5,121-foot-elevation (1,561-meter) summit located in the Grand Canyon, in Coconino County of northern Arizona, USA.

Topographic relief is significant as it rises 2,500 feet (760 meters) above the Colorado River in less than one mile.

Solomon Temple was named after historical king Solomon by geologist François E. Matthes, following Clarence Dutton's practice of naming geographical features in the Grand Canyon after mythological deities and heroic figures.

[2] Solomon Temple is a butte composed of Mississippian Redwall Limestone, which overlays shale of the Cambrian Tonto Group.

[5] The Solomon Temple Member of the Dox Formation is so named because of exposures 2.4 kilometers northeast of this butte.
