Mitten Park Fault
The Mitten Park Fold is a conspicuous illustration of how sedimentary rocks can be bent or distorted over very short distances. Note the horizontal sedimentary lines in the sandstone of Steamboat Rock, upper right. Within 100 yards the lines are vertical. Another 200 yards to the left (just out of this frame) the sedimentary lines are properly horizontal again.
The Green River flows past the fault approximately two miles downstream of the confluence of the Green and Yampa Rivers in Echo Park, Dinosaur National Monument.
The rafters seemed to be enjoying themselves.
