Geology Stop

Here's a wider and slightly more colorful view of the checkerboard-patterned bedrock photographed earlier. This is a steep slope... While I didn't try to walk on it, I did make a (foolish) attempt at Checkerboard Mesa in Zion National Park many years ago. Didn't take more than a few steps for me to realize it was a bad idea, and I'm sure the result would have been the same here.

 

Seen in Grand-Staircase Escalante National Monument, Utah.
