Bryce Canyon is the more interesting geology spot than Zion, imo.

I throw a lot of it in the yard. I used to have a big fuckoff "box of rocks" that I've been just peppering about the garden. I find it more fun to "re-find" them while weeding or fixing a sprinkler than buried in the garage. I have a few quality pieces on a shelf collecting so much dust. A giant piece of petrified wood that I've been carting around since undergrad is my doorstop to the garage.

Don't forget glen canyon, capitol reef, and the badlands around hanksville!

Or fantasy canyon which has the best cross bedding panel I've come across. Looks like a diagram on a chalkboard.



On crossbedding: this was a work photo I took many years ago. From a simple parking lot at Zion. It is still my go-to example of crossbedding.

How thick was the pavement.

I think that was the whole point. Places it was <5 inches, others it was >2ft.

I always thought pavement radar was boring as hell, but will admit I had a good run for a while. Got paid to go work in Zion, Glacier, Yosemite, Denali, Volcanos and Haleakala. Often "backstage" which was fun. But that work dried up years ago.
