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...
