Mud Pool, Grand Staircase, UT - USE CODE "CNAB03" FOR ORDERING
|
I love the geology
of the Four Corners region, especially the canyon country of Southern
Utah. We did not discover the Grand
Staircase Escalante National Monument until 2002 when driving
back from Capitol Reef. Hiking some of the smaller drainages, Ihave
come across some excellent formations. This drainage has mainly
white stone with some interesting green and pink bands running through
it. Farther down from the last
image, the sandstone turned yellow, the wet sand was brown,
but the pool was filled with clay that had a decidedly green tint
to it. I love the ripple pattern formed by the water in the sand
- I can just imagine the motion of the water at high flow... |
