KΓΆppen climate type:
In the exposed bedrocks of de San Juan river canyon (Paleozoic) there are two visible formations: Paradox formation (middle Pennsylvanian) and the overlying Honaker Trail Formation (late Pennsylvanian), and both units have their origins in marine environments.
The Honaker Trail Formation contains cycles of limestones alternating with sandstone, siltstone and shale. These alternating layers reflect water level fluctuations, regional uplift, and eventual transition from marine to a terrestrial setting.
