You will never see it like this with your feet on the ground, should you choose to hike in a few miles.
Was captivated by this geology on my first visit to Mexican Hat in the summer of 2013. Spent hours driving around looking for a shooting angle. If you drive onto a quarry and position yourself carefully to hide both the quarry AND the ugly car graveyard below it, right next to the riverbank, it becomes a passable photo, possibly even memorable if one gets better light than what I had
But the aerial view is clearly the star of the show. Like the cold rendition that is not something seen routinely from this location.

Thanks Groovy. I closely inspected the aerial views of this area and the only thing I saw that might have been a quarry is an area just a bit NE of the town, not that far. There appears to be some dirt roads on the north side that get you near the river. Didn't see any discarded automobiles! Was that your photo location?

That was 14 years ago, so it may have been cleaned up by now. The current sat imagery of the river bank is very dark
