The Pink Cliffs are series of highly-dissected cliffs, approximately 35 mi (56 km) long, along the southeast edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau in southwestern Utah in the United States. The cliffs form unique rock formations and are largely protected as part of Bryce Canyon National Park.
Geologically the cliffs are pink- and red-colored Claron Formation limestones, forming the upper riser of the Grand Staircase which descends southward to the Grand Canyon in Arizona.
