The geologist, Albert Charles Peale named Paradox in 1875; he declared that the Dolores River had the “desire to perform strange and unexpected things” due to the unusual course of the river. Rather than flowing parallel to the valley, the river runs horizontally across the valley, cutting through cliff walls at 90 degree angles.
