Kings Canyon (Utah)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kings Canyon is a canyon within the Confusion Range in Millard County, Utah. US Highway 6/US Highway 50 runs through the windy canyon. The area in and around the canyon is unpopulated, and is only used by humans for transportation and some sheep herding.
The strongly-bedded rocks that line the canyon are chiefly Silurian to Devonian carbonate rocks,[1] though pink Tertiary ignimbrites can also be seen sporadically in places. A side spur of the canyon, called Cat Canyon, is the location of the most famous tourist attraction in the canyon,[2] Elephant Rock which is in the shape of an elephant carrying a pack or load.
