Sedona Stock Photos - Navajo Point

Photo ID: GC_Navajo4874.jpg East Rim of the Grand Canyon at Navajo Point. The Grand Canyon on a fairly cloudy day with thunderstorms passing through proves to be quite beautiful with the interplay of light and shadow. The overall effect is a 'softening' of the Canyon. In the foreground, the tan rock is white Kaibab Formation (270 million years ago = m.y.a.), gray Toroweap formation (273 m.y.a.) and yellow Coconino Sandstone (275 m.y.a.). The rust ridge on the left is Hermit Shale Formation (280 m.y.a.). The red and black rock in the background on the left include red shale, limestone and dark lava of the Grand Canyon Supergroup (1,200-740 m.y.a.). The canyon wall in the background on the right is called The Palisades of the Desert. The Colorado River is at an elevation of 2,450 feet above sea level and started carving through the rock layers of the Grand Canyon 5 or 6 million years ago.
