See Gypsum Sinkhole, Capitol Reef National Park, Utah
The Gypsum Sinkhole is an occurrence formed by the reverse of the process that created Glass Mountain. Here groundwater is dissolving a buried gypsum plug. The cavity left behind has collapsed under the weight of overlying rock layers. This collapse has created a large sinkhole nearly 50 feet (15 m) in diameter and 200 feet (61 m) deep.
Gypsum Sinkhole is located at the end of Gypsum Sinkhole Road which is off Cathedral Valley Road in Capitol Reef National Park, Utah.
Stay away from the edge of the Gypsum Sinkhole. The rocks here are very soft and unstable, and can collapse at any time.
Going clockwise on Cathedral Valley Road, the distance from Hwy 24 junction to Gypsum Sinkhole is 25.6 miles (41.1 km).
