	Geology of the Bryce Canyon area - Open Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The exposed geology of the Bryce Canyon area shows a record of deposition that covers the last part of the Cretaceous period and the first half of the Cenozoic era in that part of North America.
		The ancient depositional environment of the region around what is now Bryce Canyon National Park varied from the warm shallow sea in which the Dakota Sandstone and the Tropic Shale were deposited to the cool streams and lakes that contributed to the colorful Claron Formation that dominates the park's amphitheaters.
		In the Bryce Canyon area this formation can be seen in the Paria Valley where it is found as a lithified blanket sand that probably accumulated on beaches, in lagoons, and in coal swamps as the Cretaceous Seaway transgressed (advanced inland) over the region.

		From all the viewpoints it is often possible to see 100 miles south and east towards Lake Powell and the Grand Canyon.
