The Navaho Sandstone in Zion National Park

Hopefully you have been to the Zion National Park in Utah. It is a beautiful and very photogenic place.

Among the things that you will see in this park are 2,300 foot high cliffs that are composed of sandstone, and referred to as the Navaho Sandstone.

But, Where did this sandstone come from?

The Park rangers tell us that "the Navajo Sandstone is an ancient windblown sand dune deposit."

But is that correct? Were these cliffs, which are part of a deposit of sandstone that extends from “southern California to central Wyoming and from Idaho to New Mexico” the result of a windblown deposit?

Or could there be another origin for this sandstone?

Could it be in any way related to the Flood of Noah? Some scientists think so.

And, further, there is evidence that suggests that the Navaho sandstone came from the Appalachians of the Eastern US ! Wow!
