Arizona is known for its beautiful sunsets and impressive canyons but we also have a unique treasure called the Vermillion Cliffs. This remote and unspoiled, 280,000-acre Monument is a geologic treasure, It’s a majestic rock formation full of curves and sweeping formations. This shawl will curve around you and with the swirled edge it will be a treasured shawl. If you choose the beaded version you will have a special visual reminder of the Az sun glistening off the cliffs. We hope you love it as much as we love Arizona!
