The Vermillion Cliffs (of Insanity)

I can hear Rebecca telling me the joke is stretched too thin.

Anyway it is hard to convey in pictures because it is really the time
spent driving past that makes the impression. This is an enormous
stretch of cliffs and anyone trying to get past would certainly feel
like they were going insane.

A good way to get an idea is to look on Google maps with the terrain
layer turned on. Here is a link.

Highway 89A skirts the southern side of this plateau which drops off
suddenly, making the Vermillion Cliffs.
