Category:Fallen Rock

Fallen Rock is an example of how giant slabs of sandstone break loose from the cliff wall and slide down to rest on the debris slope below-all without falling over. Look closely and you can see the Kayenta Formation caprock on top of Fallen Rock. That tells us that it used to be connected to the mesa top and has slid down more than 100 feet (30 meters). It is likely that Fallen Rock slid thousands of years ago.
