’Detail of The Wave.’

’Hiker in The Wave-3.’
The hiker who enters "The Wave" in the Coyote Buttes nature reserve (part of the Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness) may think he is stepping into a sticky red fluid with white stripes, something like sour cream stirred into pumpkin soup. But this geological wonder actually consists of 200 million years old fossilized sand dunes.

’Layered sandstone-1.’
A small dry valley above the Paria Canyon shows a finely layered bedrock surface that is composed primarily of wind-blown sand from a vast ancient desert. Later the desert dunes were covered by other materials, they petrified and surfaced again when the Colorado Plateau was uplifted and then eroded. The canyon of the Paria (a tributary of the Colorado) can be found east of Kanab and south of route 89.

’Coloured bands in Navajo Sandstone.’
Navajo Sandstone, seen here in The Wave (Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness) is composed primarily of wind-blown sand from a vast ancient desert. Minerals of iron oxide, deposited by groundwater after the accumulation of the sand, have created red, orange and yellow bands.
