A mild apology about rocks

One discussion that you won't see on this blog (at least from me) is a discussion of which layer of rock was which .

Really, it's not the guides' fault in any of this. Rick, Josh, DeAnna -- all of them tried to educate us on the various layers, but I'm just not a rock kind of guy I guess.

About all that I walked away with was:

1) The top stuff is red.
2) The green stuff is Bright Angel shale and is several layers of dirt and mud that has turned into rock over the years.
3) At the end of the canyon, there's a half dozen faults and the rock has been tipped over on itself sort of in a J pattern.

That's it on rocks.
