Colorado National Monument, Colorado. Kodels Canyon Fault looking northwestward across the canyon of the same name. The base of Wingate cliff on the left is just about opposite the top of the Wingate on the right. Here, nature was kind to the geologist, for the vertical displacement (rise of the left side with respect to the right) is virtually the thickness of the Wingate Sandstone, about 350 feet. The Wingate on the right is lighter colored than that on the left, seemingly because rock falls removed desert varnish-coated rocks and exposed the true color of the sandstone.
