Book Cliffs is a series of cliffs in western Colorado extending into eastern Utah. Located near Colorado National Monument, the cliffs stretches for some 200 miles east to west. It begins where the Colorado River flows towards the south through De Beque Canyon into the Grand Valley.

The cliffs are composed of sedimentary material. They look like books on a shelf, which was how they got their name. It is one of the best places to study sequence stratigraphy as it preserves strata of the land from various periods.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
