About the Colorado Plateau
The Colorado Plateau is a vast, geologically distinct region of layered sedimentary rock spanning parts of Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico, lifted thousands of feet above sea level over the past several million years while remaining remarkably intact and undeformed compared to other uplifted regions. That combination of height and stability is what preserves the region's rock layers in such clear, readable order, making the Colorado Plateau home to an extraordinary concentration of the Southwest's most iconic landscapes — including the Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, and Monument Valley.
