Happy #BlueskyMonday. These sandstone bedding planes remind me of a racetrack so here is a quote to start the week: “Remember, smooth roads never make good drivers. Embrace the rough patches of life."- unknown #Nature #Landscape #NavajoSandstone #MinimalMonday #hiking #backpacking #photography

Hexagonal weathering in Navajo Sandstone. Caused as the rock is exhumed by erosion. Since it lithified a depth under higher pressure the lower depth/exposure causes the rock to expand slightly. The polygonal patterns form to accomodate the increased volume. http://giw.utahgeology.org/giw/index.php/geosites/article/view/62
When basalt cools the resulting contraction can create hexagonal weathering. Navajo Sandstone can also show hexagonal weathering; but, it is caused by expansion of the rock as it decompresses when exposed.

I wandered for hours, exploring the textured terrain of the petrified dunes at Yant Flat, in the Red Cliffs National Conservation Area’s Cottonwood Canyon Wilderness (aka Candy Cliffs)
