TitleDevils Slide near Henefer, Utah
DescriptionLimestone beds are almost vertical at Devils Slide, next to I80/I84 near Henefer, Utah. Softer units between the two limestone layers, and around them, have eroded to leave this remarkable feature. These rock layers were originally deposited horizontally and later folded to become vertical. From this photo, it is impossible to tell whether the original “up” is to the right or left.
LocationUSA ▹ Utah. Near Henefer. On I80/84.
