Summary[edit]

English: Photo taken by Daniel Mayer in late June 2005.
(Note, the photo is High Resolution, expandible). The view is east-northeastwards, toward (unseen) Colorado River region, south side of en:Dead Horse Point State Park, Shafer Trail (road), in Shafer Canyon region-(northeast Canyonlands National Park). The photo is taken from upper cliff, "bedded-cliff" of en:Kayenta Formation, above and in contact with the vertical-cliff of en:Wingate Sandstone.
The upper canyon is in close-up, with Shafer Trail descending to right, and skirting 3-Points, on the white en:White Rim Sandstone shelf-(overlooking the Lower Canyon, in the photo distance). There are many geologic units (in view) below the white shelf, in the distant canyon view. (see sequence, Canyonlands strat: File:Canyonlands strat.jpg). Some of the sequence visible below the White Rim Sandstone:
Organ Rock Formation (bedded)
Cedar Mesa Sandstone
Elephant Canyon Formation & Halgaito Formation (slopes)
Honaker Trail, Paradox, & Pinkerton Trail Formations

Above the White Rim Sandstone platform (shelf), and below the vertical-cliffs of the en:Wingate Sandstone-(this is in close view-(also distant view), Shafer Trail descending through it), are 8-units: from Wingate: 3-subunits (en:Chinle Formation-(only 3 units in Canyonlands)-(many states, AZ, NM, UT, CO, etc?), 4-subunits of en:Moenkopi Formation-many states-(north border AZ), and Black Box Dolomite (visible?).
The 8-subunits are:

3-(Chinle)-Church Rock Member
2-(Chinle)-Moss Back Conglomerate
1-(Chinle)-Temple Mountain Member
4 & 3-(Moenkopi)-Moody Canyon Member and Torrey Member
2-(Moenkopi)-Sinbad Limestone
1-(Moenkopi)-Black Dragon Member
Black Box Dolomite
