The White Rim and the Green River country from the mesa

Fig. 1The White Rim and the Green River country from the mesa

Landform

A high sandstone mesa between the Green and Colorado rivers. White Rim benches, deep tributary canyons, and a horizon of layered plateau.

Field note

Grand View and Green River Overlooks look down 2,000 feet onto a maze of canyon. The White Rim is a pale bench halfway down. Dawn is copper; noon is a map.
