  1. Looking west from the main road in Bighorn Canyon National Recreational Area (the canyon is the other direction), there are beautiful sets of tilted sedimentary layers - reds, tans, greys, etc. This view is located inside the Pryor Mountain Wild Horse Refuge as well (part of the refuge is located inside the recreati...

  2. View from Point Royal, looking to the southeast (this is a point at the end of a short drive - west of where Grand Canyon Lodge and Bright Angel Point are located).

  3. The view from Bright Angel Point, along the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Layered rocks in the closer mesas, with a hint at the view in the lower parts of the canyon (and the distant mountains...)

  4. Type locality(?) of the Black River Limestone.

  5. These are outcrops of the lacustrine sedimentary rocks of the Eocene Green River Formation, as exposed along Interstate 80 at the western exit for Green River, Wyoming. This one's for you, Mert!

  6. Alternating layers of calcite and anhydrite with a few gypsum layers interspersed.

  7. Side trip along a dirt road to the trailhead for the Stump Spring Trail gives us a nice view of the orange rocks of the Claron formation, which are also responsible for the colorful scenery at Bryce Canyon.

  8. North rim of the Grand Canyon - the view looking northeast from the scenic lookout called Point Royal. (If the weather were a bit clearer, I believe you could see Vermillion Cliffs in Utah. But it's a bit hazy for that.)

  10. That's the name of the rock units and a description of what they look like (geologists can be funny that way sometimes...) - these rocks likely formed in a coastal enviroment like a delta. Some of the cave-like openings in this particular cliff face were used by ancient inhabitants of Utah for storage (the Fremont p...
