Coyote Buttes

The Coyote Buttes area is an exposure of cross-bedded aeolian Jurassic Navajo Sandstone.

[1] The variable coloration of the sandstones is a result of various iron oxide pigments within the layers.

[1] The area includes dramatic swirling erosional rock formations such as The Wave.

The Wave and Buckskin Gulch share the Wire Pass Trailhead on House Rock Valley Road.

[2] Tracks of three genera of Eubrontes, Anchisauripus and Grallator are present along with a Sauropodomorph that has not been identified.
