Sedum kamtschaticum or stonecrop
I've been driving by these cliffs for more than 30 years. They were created when the new interstate highway was built (in the 60's)and every June they are beautifully adorned by these yellow creeping sedums. Someone must have planted them way back then.
Located on the Colorado Plateau in northern Arizona, Vermilion Cliffs National Monument includes the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness. The Monument borders Kaibab National Forest to the west and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area to the east.
This remote and unspoiled, 280,000-acre Monument is a geologic treasure, containing a variety of diverse landscapes from the Paria Plateau, Vermilion Cliffs, Coyote Buttes, and Paria Canyon. Elevations range from 3,100 to 7,100 feet.
Visitors will enjoy scenic views of towering cliffs and deep canyons. Paria Canyon offers an outstanding three to five day wilderness backpacking experience. The colorful swirls of cross-bedded sandstone in Coyote Buttes are an international hiking destination. There are also opportunities to view wildlife, including California condors. There are two developed campgrounds just outside the Monument: Stateline and White House. Dispersed camping is allowed outside the wilderness area in previously disturbed areas.
A permit is required for hiking in Coyote Buttes North (the Wave), Coyote Buttes South, and for overnight trips within Paria Canyon.

Pausing to enjoy a Mediterranean vista. We tried to get down to the beach below here, making a pretty hairy downlimb most of the way, but the last 50 feet were too technical to attempt unroped.
Later, we were able to access some of these coves we couldn't get to from above by scrambling along the rocks at the cliffs' bases.

A recently collapsed cliff on Hilbre Island. The eroded detail on this cliff was amazing but erosion is what erosion does!

It's hard to miss an eruption of Cliff Geyser in Black Sand Basin. Eruptions often occur just a few minutes after the previous one. Unlike many other geysers, Cliff erupts when the crater is empty, and stops when it is full. Active periods are fun to watch, as Cliff pumps jets of water 20 to 40 feet into the air in rapid-fire bursts, sending waves of water over its geyserite "cliff" into Iron Creek.
An RSPB reserve, Bempton Cliffs, on the Yorkshire Coast attracts half a million seabirds each year to raise their chicks. Other wildlife calls the reserve home too.

The hard chalk cliffs at Bempton rise are relatively resistant to erosion and offer lots of sheltered headlands and crevices for nesting birds. The cliffs run about 10 km from Flamborough Head north towards Filey and are over 100 metres (330 ft) high at points.

The Cliffs are 702 feet high at the highest point and range for nearly 5 miles over the Atlantic Ocean.
From the Cliffs one can see the Aran Islands, Galway Bay, as well as The Twelve Pins, the Maum Turk Mountains in Connemara and Loop Head to the South.
They are home to one of the major colonies of cliff nesting seabirds in Ireland. The area was designated as a Special Protection Area (SPA) for Birds under the EU Birds Directive in 1986 and as a Refuge for Fauna in 1988.
