All these canyons are clear eut, deep gashes lu nearly level plat forms and their step-like walls de scend abruptly by alterations of bold cliffs and na.rroiV ledges. The river at the bottom carries the drainage from the whole western f.ont of the Itocky mountains in Colorado - and southwestern Wyoming. Because of the general lmpassablllty and inhospi table character of the bordering des erts, these canyons form a barrier to hi: man travel more effective than the Itocky mountains.

Along the eastern border of the district, a sharp bend, known as a mono cline, carries the beds to a lower level, where they resume their nearly hori zontal attitude nod continue eastward beneath the higher strata of the pla teau.
