Freya Castle

Freya Castle is a 7,288-foot-elevation (2,221-meter) summit located in the Grand Canyon, in Coconino County of northern Arizona, US.

Topographic relief is significant as it rises 3,400 feet (1,000 meters) above the Unkar Valley in one mile.

[7] The summit of Freya Castle is composed of cream-colored Permian Coconino Sandstone.

[8] The sandstone, which is the third-youngest of the strata in the Grand Canyon, was deposited 265 million years ago as sand dunes.

Below the Coconino Sandstone is soft, slope-forming, Permian Hermit Shale, which in turn overlays the Permian-Pennsylvanian- Supai Group.
