Its origin is lithified sand dunes. There is a lot of that in the Colorado Plateau, because at one time this area was one of the biggest dune fields the Earth has ever known. But why it erodes in this pattern here, I don't know. I've been meaning to look it up. The lithified dunes are also where are you find the slot canyons.
It is interesting that the fracture pattern almost exactly resembles basalt columns and about the same size.
