USGS Earth Science Photographic Archive digital file: hjk00674

This view looking downstream toward the lower canyon where cliffs of Weber Sandstone (Pennsylvanian and Permian age) crop out high on the mountainsides. Downstream of the lower gorge the Green River crosses through hogbacks of steeply dipping strata of Mesozoic age that crop out along the south side of the Split Mountain anticline.
