Dawn light illuminates the upper half of the 1,000 foot-tall Vermilion Cliffs in the background of this photograph viewed from the Navajo Nation in northern Arizona. In the foreground, beehive-shaped Navajo Sandstone formations fill the high mesa here on the Navajo Nation of northern Arizona. Out of view, deep in the gorge of Glen Canyon, the Colorado River flows along the base of the Vermilion Cliffs as it enters Marble Canyon in Grand Canyon National Park. It was here on the Navajo Nation that Navajo Sandstone was first identified and named. Vast outcrops of this beautifully-sculpted sandstone can be found all across the Colorado Plateau region of southern Utah and northern Arizona. This panoramic photograph was captured with a 6x17 panorama format camera. All photos in these fine art photo galleries may be ordered as fine art framed prints or for stock photography usage.
