Another image from the "Boulders" area north of Page Arizona, across the border in Utah. This is an amazing area to photograph. The boulders are not far from the gravel road, and one can easily walk up to the immense rubble deployed at the base of the mesa. I try to give a feeling of the immensity of these boulders. The pedestal on the right is at least 20 to 30 feet in height. The mind boggles at the scale of the formations. It is quite obvious how most of the rubble came to be; the boulders gave way from the cliff up above, and rolled down the incline. Did this pedestal formation also roll down from above? How does it stand on end like it does? Is it in its original location? We see a mixture of red sandstone and siltstone underneath. This is one place I will return to.
