Double Arch

This is Double Arch in the Windows Section. Note the difference between the wavy shale, siltstone, and sandstone layers of the lower Dewey Bridge beds in relation to the more massive Slickrock sandstone above. Both units are part of the Entrada Formation. The Entrada Formation overlies the Navajo Sandstone throughout the Colorado Plateau.
