A delightful rock formation travel tips and stories. Vacations ideas, cruises, spa and resorts

Known as “The Wave”, this formation is made of 190-million-year-old sand dunes turned to rock. The area lies on the border of Utah and Arizona, USA and it is probably one of the most-photographed natural formations in North America. Actually it’s a small gorge between eroded sandstone. The area is a gallery of twisted sandstone, resembling deformed pillars, cones, mushrooms and other creations. Deposits of iron oxides claim are responsibility for the unique blending of dramatic colors interlaced in the rock -in a dramatic rainbow of pastel yellows, pinks and reds.
