Description
At the convergence of the states of Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico lies the red rock country of the Colorado Plateau. The magnificent canyonlands of the region are the natural result of centuries of erosion by rivers, with their tools of suspended sand and gravel, and by heat and cold and rain. Relentlessly through the ages the rivers have carved the Plateau, exposing to our view the records of departed deserts and seas. Algal flats and small sea creatures rendered into stone are overlain by rock layers containing crustacea and fish, and the stony casts of dinosaur foot prints. Man himself is not neglected by the preserving stone; his drawings and pottery, the ruined houses of vanished Indians and the scratched names of John Wesley Powell and other explorers remain behind.
