The Golden Throne is a 7,041-foot (2,146 m) mountain in Capitol Reef National Park in Wayne County, Utah, United States. It is a rock formation dome made of a gold color stained Navajo Sandstone, which is particularly special because normally the sandstone is creamy white or red. The presence of a small amount of the Carmel Formation on top of the Navajo Sandstone is the reason for this staining.
A two-mile-long (3.2 km) trail runs below the mountain. The summit is 7,042 feet (2,146 m) in elevation and is part of the Waterpocket Fold, a nearly 100-mile-long (160 km) monocline.
