These soft sandstone deposits, built up by wind and water and then carved into strange and fantastic shapes by the same forces, have fascinated man for at least 5,000 years.Note the absence of carvings in the sculptured walls seen in this photograph taken in 1925. The fresh scars on the canyon wall in front of you point out a tragic fact: Man is quickly destroying this place of beauty.You can make a difference in what remains for future generations. Please enjoy this area without leaving your mark. Report any vandalism to park personnel!
