Vacation Rocks
Gold Hill at Grand Canyon, Arizona standing before the Little Colorado River gorge and Painted Desert at sunset. Gold Hill is composed of red mudstones of the Mesozoic Moenkopi Formation preserved under a protective cap of a more erosion resistant member of the Chinle Group. The Echo Cliffs, eroded from the Echo Cliffs monocline, span the background about 35 miles away at the western border of the Kaibito Plateau. Photo by Bob Keller.
