Taken from atop a hill of Frontier Sandstone this view encompasses the western end of the south limb of the Split Mountain Anticline in Dinosaur National Monument. The valley in the foreground is that of Red Wash. Much of the geology in this field of view is part of the first major geologic mapping project of the Fort Hays State University Geology Summer Field Camp. For more information about our field camp see: http://hays.outcrop.org/GSCI454/
Originally intended to be a much larger shot, I gave up after cloudiness interfered with the exposure (banding at right side of image).
