Description
Vast areas either side of the Paria River have similar erosional scenery, based on bands of rock in many different colors - yellow, purple and red are the most prominent, though in the rimrocks, the layers are mostly white and red-brown, and the differing hardness of the strata have created a great expanse of cliffs, plateaus, canyons, washes and badlands. The one extra, more unusual feature of the rimrocks is the many balanced boulders, known variously as hoodoos, goblins, toadstools or mushrooms, where flat blocks of hard sandstone are perched atop narrow columns of softer rock, and these provide many of the most photogenic scenes.
