Last Chance Canyon

Red Rock Canyon State Park, Kern County,California

A view looking roughly southward near the southern-most reaches of sedimentary outcrops in Last Chance Canyon. Greenish sandstones and tan-brownish tuffs belong to the late Middle Miocene Dove Spring Formation of the Ricardo Group. All of this area lies within the recently expanded boundaries of Red Rock Canyon State Park. Fossil collecting without a special permit from the California State Park aurthorities is illegal here now.
