Cliffs in Rock Canyon


There is always a temptation to fall back on my vast collection of photos. This is Rock Canyon. Our house in Provo, Utah is at the mouth of this canyon and can walk to the trails up the canyon in about five minutes. The most notable thing about Rock Canyon is the twisted and sweeping rock formations. These are mostly limestone and were originally laid down horizontally. The mountain building and plate tectonics have had a field day in making the strata as convoluted as possible. On nice days, the canyon is full of rock climbers.
