Golden Canyon lets you get a good look at erosion. You can easily see where the water runs during flash floods. The erosion exposes layers of the sandstone, and you can easily see how it was tilted. When I look at the rocks, I wonder whether they were tilted up or down. I know death valley is sinking. A geologic map might let me know where the fault is and what side the canyon sits on.
