Re: beautiful !Thanks Tomek! The mountains here are made of nearly-horizontal layers of very old rock, mostly Precambrian quartzite and some shales. So the long bands of red cliffs, separated by eroded benches, are very typical for Uinta Range. The headwalls of the valleys were scored by glaciers, but they all gone extinct.
