The variety of rocks in the Painted
Hills, also known as Incandescent Rocks, offer a unique study
of this unusual geology. Photos taken December 2, 2000, by Petesthousandpeaks.
Here, hikers enjoy a rest stop
amidst the scenic beauty.
Apparently, the red rocks saved
the bottom layers of whiter rock from eroding, leaving the pedestals
we have today.
