Who isn't always awestruck by our Vermillion Cliffs.

The Vermilion Cliffs are the second "step" up in the five-step Grand Staircase of the Colorado Plateau.
The Vermilion Cliffs are composed of the resistant red sandstone beds of the Lower Jurassic Moenave and Kayenta Formations. They are made up of deposited silt and desert dunes, cemented by infiltrated carbonates and intensely colored by red iron oxide and other minerals, particularly bluish manganese.
