- Description
-
That's the name given to this particular overlook along Rte. 12 in southern Utah. Large expanses of Navajo Sandstone make up the majority of the foreground rocks - these were once (millions of years ago) a vast expanse of sand dunes. The remnants of the dunes are found in structures called cross beds, where layers of sand from the dune meet layers of sand from the original surface at an angle.
Close ups of some of these cross beds are in some of our later pans (www.gigapan.org/gigapans/32031/ and www.gigapan.org/gigapans/32037/), and another view of the ancient vast sand sea (www.gigapan.org/gigapans/32256/)
