Small clumps of crabgrass and scraggly shrubs give way to a gritty sandstone promontory, forming a sheer cliff that plummets down to the deep gorge below. Across the chasm, on the far wall, layer after layer of herring-bone shaped laminations alternate with one another in the rock forming a curious pattern.
