Sandstone is far from homogeneous. It is formed in layers of sand and mud with differing conditions. When the rock becomes exposed to the elements, it weathers in a variety of forms and patterns. One of the most enjoyable things about walking around in northern Arizona is looking at the sandstone and the sand that comes from it.
