The official name for the dark red (rounded) landform on the left is
Cibola Mitten.
In this photo, you can see how Cibola Mitten contrasts with the pink & buff-colored cliffs of cross-bedded Permian
Coconino sandstone and
Kiabab limestone in the background.
This is looking NE from the point where the
Jordan Trail connects to the Soldier Pass Trail. The Brins Mesa Trail is found in the next canyon over, called Mormon Canyon.
"After all the jacks are in their boxes,
And the clowns have all gone to bed;
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street,
Footprints dressed in red.
And the wind whispers - Mary."
Jimi Hendrix (1967)
