[Mile-marker 29]
About half a mile beyond this parking area, we reach a small parking
area at Red Canyon Overlook, from which the photograph shown in figure
12 was taken. The dark green bush of Mormon Tea in the right foreground
of figure 12 is one of the largest I have seen in the Monument. The
reasons for the differences between the left and right walls of the
canyon are discussed on pages 79 and 80. The ripple-marked curbstones of
white sandstone in the parking area were quarried from the Moab Member
of the Entrada Sandstone northwest of Fruita Canyon, as noted on page
96.
