Red Rock wall. Most likely of either lowermost Jurassic Wingate Sandstone or Middle Jurassic Navajo Sandstone. These formations abound throughout the greater Colorado Plateau - as the greater general region is called. It's extremely difficult to the ascertain exact location by looking at some isolated and rather featureless cliff face such as this is. If Wingate or Navajo, it cannot be in Monument Valley as those cliffs are composed of Permian age De Chelly Sandstone. However, since the Colorado Plateau, which contains myriad walls of this same general appearance stretches roughly from Grand Junction Colorado in the east, to Price, Utah in the North, to Zion National park in the southwest corner of Utah(and slightly beyond into the "Valley of Fire" state park of Nevada), to Grand Canyon N.P. and the Mogollon Rim of Arizona in the south, and then across the area called "Four Corners" and again, North - once again - to Grand Junction, Colorado.... Who can rightly say where this rather nondescript cliff face is situated ? :-D | Capt.Picky | Moab, Utah | 1 |
