A zoom view from the Green River Overlook toward Ekker Butte.The ledge-forming White Rim Sandstone in the foreground is Permian in age (about 250 million years old). It is overlain by the Moenkopi Formation. The lower flank of Ekker Butte is Chinle Formation; the upper portion is Wingate Sandstone. The Moenkopi, Chinle, and Wingate formations are terrestrial sedimentary formations (flood plain and dunes, respectively) of Triassic age, deposited about 220-240 million years ago.
