Fiesta panorama

Here's a wide view of what I call the Fiesta Chinle site in Arizona.

 

Under the flat mesa at right, these colors undoubtedly continue for many miles. The Chinle formation extends laterally over much of the Colorado Plateau and is found in Nevada, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico and Colorado. The soft Chinle mudstone often contains numerous thin layers of different colors, including red, orange, black, pink, brown, green and even blue.
