I love to look at the layers in the cliffs. It's literally like looking back in time. They are beautiful

Apparently they were carved out by glaciers.  Beautiful to see in person if you are ever in the region!

Those look very much like the cliffs you see on I-10 as you come into Arizona from New Mexico. Or maybe it's on I-40 from New Mexico. I have been by them so many times, I can't remember on which interstate they are. The stratification is always a wonder to look at in rock cliffs like that. You can see definite periods in time. Makes you wonder if there are any dinosaurs in there...
