Straddling around the park's boundaries, these impressive red-colored sandstone cliffs can be seen from quite a distance.
The Vermilion Cliffs are the second "step" up in the five-step Grand Staircase of the Colorado Plateau, in northern Arizona and southern Utah in the southwestern United States. They extend west from near Page, Arizona, for a considerable distance, in both Arizona and Utah.

A hard to reach patch of picturesque sandstones. The grey rocky cover layer is sometimes just a few cm thick. The structure makes the area look like enormous marble cake covered by a sugar icing.
