A view from a moving vehicle while traveling northbound along Highway 14 through Red Rock Canyon State Park, California. Pale-pinkish rocks at upper left and center are a volcanic tuff breccia; black material at upper left is a volcanic basalt flow; the reddish and grayish-green, stratified rocks are river channel and flood-plain-deposited sandstones--all of which belong to the late Miocene Dove Spring Formation of the Ricardo Group. |
