Tritle Peak

The peak is only about 0.4 miles (0.64 km) northeast of Roosevelt Point on an eroded ridgeline, and it is a very short caprock remainder of Coconino Sandstone cliffs upon Hermit Shale slopes.

The entire ridge is a bright dark-burnt-red from the Hermit Shale, and sits on a ridgeline-platform of Supai Group unit 4, the Esplanade Sandstone.

The peaks are composed of eroded Coconino Sandstone, upon Hermit Shale, (slope-formed) slopes, debris-filled or vegetated.

Ridgelines with no remaining Coconino Sandstone peaks, will be dk-reddish, or red from the Supai Group (with 2 cliff-layers & 2 slope-layers).

Numerous ridgelines along the Walhalla Plateau East Rim have shed this Coconino Sandstone.
