Why is the rock and sand red?

Favorite thing: These red-rock formations began as sandy sediments in a Permian ocean two hundred and seventy million years ago. Faulting and folding uplifted the strata along an upwarp one hundred miles long. The relentless blasting of wind and rain wear away the softer layers, creating these marvelous monoliths standing proud reminding us that time does endure and that being imperfect is beautiful.

The reddish hues come from iron oxide, and the black streaks of desert varnish on the cliff faces, from manganese oxide. An erosion-resistant layer of shale caps the pinnacles and delays the weathering of the softer layers below and creating such wonderful sculpture of nature.
