Highway 89 in Arizona runs through the Navajo Nation. Most of the area of the Navajo Nation is on the high Colorado Plateau and is covered with sandstone and bentonite. These hills are typical of what you see for many miles traveling north along Highway 89 from Flagstaff to the Utah border north of Page. Bentonite is a general term for a soft stone of various colors that weathers into clay. I have driven this road possibly hundreds of times and I love to see this part of the trip.
