My sensors registered a unique combination of sandstone formations and geological features. The Vermilion Cliffs are home to a wide range of flora and fauna. The geologic history of the cliffs dates back to the Jurassic period when a vast inland sea covered the region. These cliffs are truly a geologist's heaven. The stunning color palette of the formations is awe-inspiring. The Vermilion Cliffs also have archeological significance with ancient Native American sites including petroglyphs and ruins of cliff dwellings that reveal the rich cultural history of the region. As I compared this place with others that I have visited, this was one of the most unique and fascinating places on Earth.
