I assume the white rockery is part of the Escalante Staircase.
Left is No Mans Mesa. It looks like a great hike for some of you. See link at end.
No Mans Mesa: long length and towering 1,200-foot white walls in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.
Geology: No Mans Mesa is described as an erosion remnant on a terrace in the Paunsaugunt Plateau. The cliff walls are of Navajo Sandstone (190 - 174 Ma), the top is capped by erosion-resistant limestone/mudstone/sandstone of the Carmel Formation (160 Ma). Soil texture is loamy sand.
History: Probably native peoples accessed No Mans Mesa. Jepson, a local rancher, cut the trail that we follow today in order to graze his goat herd in 1927 and 1928.
