One interesting geological feature can be found at the beginning of the Panorama Trail in Kodachrome Basin State Park. Soon after passing the "Fred Flintstone Spire" you will see a sign that reads "Petrified Lightning." There are numerous cream-colored fractures that zig-zag down from the red sandstone cliffs. They look strikingly similar to bright lightning strikes flashing down from a red sky. This is just one of the many interesting points of interest along this popular trail. More information about the park and trails can be found by viewing a brochure of the park (in .pdf format).
