Clues: 1. Seven different geologic sandstone formations mark this feature, revealing
200 million years of geologic history. Large crossbeds exhibit colorful
banding in yellow, orange, pink and red caused by the precipitation of
manganese, iron and other oxides. 2. The silt-laden river that has sculpted this feature is named for a native word meaning “muddy water,” referring to the frequent flash floods during which tributaries run reddish-orange. 3. Ancient petroglyphs, campsites and ruins indicate that early people traveled here more than 700 years ago. In more recent times, the feature has served as a backdrop to many movies, including one about an infamous outlaw. Name the feature and its location. Scroll down for the answer |
