This view along the Potash Road shows the gentle structure of the Cane
Creek Anticline. Strata mostly siltstone and sandstones of the Cutler
Group (Pennsylvanian to Permian) crop out along the Colorado River in
this region. The gray strata in the mid ground is a fossiliferous marine
shale bed of the Pennyslvanian Honaker Trail Formation. The red siltstone
in the foreground is Elephant Canyon Formation (Permian). The La Sal Mountains
are in the distance.
