We spent a little time in eastern Utah mostly because of two major wild fires burning in Southwestern Colorado. Roads were closed in various areas.
Wilson’s Arch
The route taken, however, yielded to some beautiful and typical western scenery. I am talking about cowboy and 
Indian movie type of backgrounds. One could easily see varied layers of sediment rocks embedded along the cliffs, as well as, multi-colors. There were red-orange colors; yellow ochre to whitish and various shades of all of these including browns. All of this made for some beauty to behold.
Utah is known for a number of stone “arches.” Theses arches were formed through water erosion from times past adding wind erosion on sandstone rocks. Sandstone erodes easily and possibly quickly due to the nature of the sandstone.
