A view from a moving vehicle while traveling northbound along Highway 14 through Red Rock Canyon State Park, California. Here is the world-famous Red Cliffs exposure of the late Miocene Dove Spring Formation near the turnoff to the campground at Red Rock Canyon State Park; at the top is a resistant volcanic tuff breccia; reddish bands are stream and river-deposited sandstones; witish layers are tuffaceous sandstones that were subjected to volcanic ash airfalls; grayish beds are sandstones layed down along great floodplains. |
