The Castle at Mummy Cliffs
According to the National Park Service, these colorful cliffs are composed of dark red Moenkopi siltstone and mudstone. The red color is a result of oxidized iron in the rock in the dry conditions of this desert.
This is the area just across from the National Park visitor center. I loved the bright green Spring leaves on the trees along Sulphur Creek as they contrasted against the dark red rock.
