Ever wondered about the Colorado Plateau geological history, from billion-year-old basement rocks to dramatic Jurassic cliffs? This annotated roundup of my yearlong Time Beyond Imagining series collects 70 posts and 100+ photos. After twenty years guiding students, I trace Grand Canyon rock layers, the Grand Staircase, Petrified Forest, Navajo Sandstone and fossil mysteries.
