Navajo Dome, Sandstone dome in Utah, United States
The Navajo Dome rises from the Colorado Plateau, displaying light pink to white coloration due to the presence of iron oxides in its composition.
The formation dates back to the Jurassic period, approximately 190 million years ago, when vast desert landscapes covered the region during the time of Pangaea.
Native American tribes maintain connections to the land surrounding Navajo Dome, incorporating its natural features into their traditions and stories.
Visitors access the dome through established trails, requiring proper hiking equipment and water supplies for safe exploration of the geological formation.
Iron oxide concretions within the sandstone create spherical formations known as Moqui marbles, which document ancient groundwater movement through the rock layers.
