United Nations Tablet is a sandstone summit located in Bears Ears National Monument, in San Juan County, Utah, United States. The summit rises to an elevation of 5,825 feet (1,775 meters), and topographic relief is significant as it towers 1,465 feet (447 meters) above the surrounding terrain of Canyonlands National Park one mile to its west, and 1,845 feet (562 meters) above the Colorado River in two miles. This butte is visible from Canyonlands Overlook, 0.6 mile (1 km) to the north, and from Dead Horse Point five miles (8 km) to the north. The unofficial toponym has been in use since at least 1963.
