Zion National Park - Checkerboard Mesa - National Parks of the World on Waymarking.com

The main features of the Checkerboard Mesa are the generally perpendicular lines in the cliffs of the mesa. The vertical lines are shallow fractures likely resulting in repeated freezing and thawing of the rock surface. The roughly horizontal lines are the result of different rates of weathering along layers of coarser sand in the wind-blown (eolian) cross-beds of the Navajo Sandstone.

Visit Instructions:

A log will require a recent photograph at the coordinates. Some of these locations will be placed for the scenery, so a gpsr will just ruin the picture.

If you don't have a digital camera post a descriptive log.
