It is hard to understand the scale of this image. The cliffs in the background, partially obscured by the clouds are the Vermillion Cliffs. Those cliffs are about 2000 feet high. What appears to be a ridge in the center of the image is Marble Canyon. If you were to travel over to the edge of the canyon, you would be looking down about 470 feet to the Colorado River. From where I am standing for this photo if you were to drive over to the highway along the face of the Vermillion Cliffs, it would take almost an hour to get to the cliffs on the left side of the image.
