Echo Cliffs in the Clouds

It was startling different to drive along the Echo Cliffs on Highway 89 in Northern Arizona than our experience back East in Maryland and Washington, D.C. There is simply no comparison between the vast distance of the Colorado Plateau and most of Maryland. We were impressed with the fantastic cloud formations along the Cliffs. Here is a description of the geology of Cliffs from Wikipedia: Echo Cliffs.

The Echo Cliffs is a prominent monocline in northern Arizona that runs for dozens of miles in a north-south direction, within the Navajo Nation and Coconino County, in northern Arizona. It is to the east of Grand Canyon National Park. 

U.S. Highway 89 runs parallel to it in the valley on its western side. The Tutuveni petroglyph site is found along the slope of the base of the cliffs.
