Inside the park campground is a short scenic drive - this pan is at the end of the drive. The weather wasn't the best that day (storms and rain later, a small flash flood through the wash in our campsite), but the view was worth the wait....

An incised meander of the Colorado River near Page, AZ. (The river has cut down the steep gorge by erosion.) Same vantage point as gigapan.org/gigapans/33145/, but taken with a "cheap camera from WalMart" (no autofocus/exposure lock, lower megapixels, less zoom). Makes for an interesting compariso...

One of two pans of Horseshoe Bend, a lovely incised meander near Page, Arizona (just southeast of Glen Canyon Dam). Erosion by the Colorado River cut down through the layers of sedimentary rock and created the deep gorge (approx. 1000 feet deep here). The river meander, though, formed by the same processes that for...

Part of our campsite - the wash below the bridge is wet from a flash flood... it was normally dry. (Minor flash flood. 6 inches deep... but still a flood!)

Some photogenic geology/scenery from inside the park - past the "Arch" group site and along a dirt road leading to Chimney Rock. (The weather was threatening, so we didn't go very far... maybe next time?) Yes, the cow watched the entire pan....

Layers of wet sediment were disturbed (those are the saggy layers in the red rock), forming a large pipe that quickly filled with sand. Once lithified (formed into a rock), the layers erode more easily than the pipe of sand, which is often left behind as a large chimney of sandstone. (I need to get some more concre...

Stratigraphy of the Straight Cliffs formation, southern Utah. (I think it's Straight Cliffs... must double check that.) Yes. Two pans of the exact same thing - wanted to compare them, of course!

At this point, the Navajo Loop trail diverges slightly - the right trail leads a short distance up to a small canyon with two natural bridges (look behind the tree in the canyon - they are both visible there). The trail itself, which goes through the area called "Wall Street", heads up the left fork back to ...
