Hudu?

We started work early today to make the most of the cold (-4C) mornings before it gets too hot, so we were finished with enough time for some exploring. Kanab Canyon is just a few minutes drive north of Kanab. There are some interesting rock formations here, most of which are going to require another visit with a wide angle lens.


I think this is what is known as a Hudu. Basically a layer of very soft sandstone is protected from rain by a cap of harder sandstone. It is this differential weathering that lakes some of the dramatic landscapes around Utah and Arizona.
