Looking northeast from Sunrise Point, the height of Boat Mesa and the tilted rocks of the Sinking Ship can be seen.
Ýview "The Conglomerate of Boat Mesa" caps this mesa; conglomerate is sedimentary, like sandstone, with pebbles that include a variety of sizes, which can be seen easily without magnifying equipment. Boat Mesa rises above the hoodoos of Fairyland Canyon to an elevation of 8,073 feet. The angular rocks of the Sinking Ship are indicative of the tectonic activity that began about 15 million years ago, raising the Paunsaugunt Plateau to its current elevation, and moving sections of rock along fault lines, resulting in the tilted rock visible today.    0 220 2 84
