Aquarius Plateau
Pink Cliffs. Kane County, Utah.
USGS Earth Science Photographic Archive digital file: hjk00624

The Pink Cliffs are an outcrop belt of early Tertiary lake basin deposits along the crest of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. It is likely that the Thompson Expedition passed near the great natural bowl-shaped amphitheater filled with colorful spires, hoodoos, and formations that are now within Bryce National Park.
