Zion National Park (6/24)
Zion has the most amazing geo strata showing. Most of the Rockies show stone masses that were pushed up at an angle and the resulting strata show as diagonal lines at that same angle; or, they were pushed straight up and resulting strata show as lines parallel to the ground.
(The example above is in the Grand Canyon).
Zion has strata that look like they were put on in swirls; Barb says like frosting swirled on a cake.
