Description
This is a beautiful example of the red and white sandstone formations of Oak Creek Canyon as viewed from Slide Rock State Park. The more predominant rock units exposed in the cliffs of southern Oak Creek Canyon are the buff to white colored, frequently cross-bedded Permian Coconino Sandstone and the red sandstones of the Permian Schnebly Hill Formation. Unlike all the other formations exposed in Oak Creek Canyon, the Schnebly Hill Formation is not present at the Grand Canyon. The younger white rocks at the top have eroded creating the peak as visible here.
