Navajo National Monument

The maze of canyonlands stretching before you is the continuing work of millions of years of powerful and pervasive geological forces.

Water scours and down-cuts channels in the soft sandstone plateau. The process is augmented by forces of frost, plants, and alternating expansion and contraction of the rock due to temperature changes. A gradual uplift of the land further promotes canyon-cutting by increasing the speed and cutting force of water. Flowing water is the "freightline" that will carry the entire canyon landscape to the sea.
