Description
Travertine Falls
Day 8 of 8 on our trip through Grand Canyon National Park and the park keeps giving. In this case, Travertine Falls.
This rock formation was created over many thousands of years. At the top of this formation is a spring that is heavy in calcium carbonate. As the water falls over the edge of this cliff the calcium carbonate is deposited on the surrounding stone creating a drape like effect.
