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.
