’Detail of The Wave.’
Locally called 'The Wave’, this geological wonder in the Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness consists of 200 million years old fossilized sand dunes.

’The Wave-1.’
Locally called 'The Wave’, this geological wonder in the Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness consists of 200 million years old fossilized sand dunes. The local geological formation is called Navajo Sandstone and is composed primarily of wind-blown sand from a vast ancient desert. However the undulating surface seen here is not so old but is the result of more recent erosion of the sandstone.

’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.

’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.
