Description: This image shows colorful beds of the Entrada Sandstone near Red Wash Canyon, west of Abiquiu, New Mexico, USA. The beds are capped by thin grey beds of the Todilto Formation. The escarpment in the background is underlain by much older Permian beds of the Arroyo del Agua Formation, with the Canones Fault at the base of the escarpment. The Canones Fault marks the southeastern boundary of the Colorado Plateau with the Rio Grande rift in this area.
