Most of the really scenic portions of the American Southwest are closely associated with sandstone rock formations. From Monument Valley to the Grand Canyon and from Bryce Canyon to Zion, sandstone formations are ubiquitous. One reason for the allure of sandstone cliffs is the way light affects its color and texture. Sometimes sandstone seems to glow with its own internal light. Because the rock usually has no defined pattern of cracking or splitting, the rocks can take almost any shape imaginable. If you look closely at the image above, you will see the face of a cat in the large rock near the right side of the photo.
