Entrance to Marble Canyon.
This canyon is the source of an alluvial fan.
The fan is the large conical formation that emerges eastward from the canyon and spreads out in a wide arc.
The amount of material and the length of time it took to build this fan are staggering to contemplate.
Truly geologic in nature!
