Grand Staircase
The Grand Staircase is an immense sequence of sedimentary rock layers that stretch south from Bryce Canyon National Park and Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument, through Zion National Park, and into Grand Canyon National Park. Characterization In the 1870s, geologist Clarence Dutton first conceptualized this region as a huge stairway ascending out of the bottom of the Grand Canyon northward with the cliff edge of each layer forming giant steps. Dutton divided this layer cake of Earth history into five steps from the youngest (uppermost) rocks: *Pink Cliffs * Grey Cliffs * White Cliffs * Vermilion Cliffs * Chocolate Cliffs Since then, modern geologists have further divided Dutton's steps into individual rock formations. Formations in the Grand Staircase starting with the youngest (uppermost) rocks: *Claron Formation *Kaiparowits Formation * Wahweap Formation * Straight Cliffs Formation *Tropic Shale *Dakota Sandstone *Carmel Formation * Temple Cap Formati ...
