Grand Mesa is the largest flattop mountain in the world.

It rises straight out of the desert to 11,000ft and then just stops. Flat.

It's an example of reverse topology where a basalt flow filled a low valley and never eroded while everything around it ground down.

My Cab Sauv grapes are grown in the shadow of this crazy geologic anomaly. 🍷

Damn, my home town’s Table Mountain has some competition. We do have some good wine from those parts though 🍷
