Easy access via large pullout/parking area along Rim Rock Drive.
Most monuments are built by people. But this impressive monument was created by a natural process where rocks wear away or erode at different rates. Soft rocks, like the Wingate sandstone that forms the canyon walls, washes away quickly while harder rocks, like the Kayenta capstone that tops the mesas, erodes more slowly. Here you can see sketches showing the how this structure evolved via this process of differential erosion.
