VERMILLION CLIFFS NATIONAL MONUMENT Marble Canyon, Arizona

Expedition Team: Dave Miller, Rosie Miller

Date: May 20, 2024

Looking across the desert we could see the Colorado River cutting through the canyon. Behind it we could see Marble Canyon and the Vermillion Cliffs. The Vermillion Cliffs have some of the most unusual geologic formations in the country from cliffs, slot canyons, rock formations and wavy sandstone formations, colorful curls of slickrock called “waves”. We did not get to hike any trails there this trip as we were focused on the antelope valley slot canyons, but we will return another time.
