According to Wikipedia, “The Coyote Buttes area is an exposure of cross-bedded aeolian Jurassic Navajo Sandstone. The variable coloration of the sandstones is a result of various iron oxide pigments within the layers.” It creates a stunning scenario when you walk through the pits. 

Coyote Buttes is a section of the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness. It is managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). And it is spanning extreme south-central Utah and north-central Arizona. It is located at the south of US 89 halfway between Kanab, Utah and Page, Arizona.
