Passing the Morrison Formation

Grand County, Utah view map


A southbound train heads for the potash mine at Potash, about 20 miles away. This view is to the west, looking across US 191 from Willow Springs Road (north of Moab).

The greenish soil is part of the Morrison Formation and was one of the sources of the uranium that was mined in this area.
