The Battleship (Grand Canyon)

The Battleship is a 5,850-foot (1,780 m)-elevation summit located in central Grand Canyon, in Coconino County of northern Arizona, United States.

The ridgeline, Battleship landform forms part of the western border of Garden Creek Canyon, which contains the Bright Angel Trail down to the Colorado River, and across it to Phantom Ranch.

The Battleship prominence is composed of cliffs of Coconino Sandstone, upon short eroded slopes of Hermit Shale.

The length of "the battleship" is a cliff-platform of the upper member of the Supai Group, (unit 4, Esplanade Sandstone).

The entire 4-member orange-red Supai Group (heavily vegetated), sits on the platform, and tall cliffs of the Redwall Limestone.
