The number of boulders is amazing, and they are in so many positions too. Amazing geology!

The mountain is a sil – it was pushed up on a slant from volcanic action deep below the earth. It is quite incredible the positions some of the rocks are in.

I see that! The palte tectonics here are amazing too. There are plenty of examples of plate collisions seen in the diagonal rock faces and ancient shorelines visible in the rocks too.
The southwest part of the States was underwater 200 million years ago in a shallow, warm sea. Sea shells have ben found high in the surrounding mountains.
Located a short drive from Las Vegas is Mount Charleston which peaks at 11,916 feet!

Pretty nuts when you think about it! We have sea shell fossils around home @300m and further up, but I’m not sure how far up they can be found.

I kept thinking, “How did those rocks get into that position and stay there all those years?”

The mountain is a ‘sil’ – it was pushed up on a slant from volcanic action deep below the earth. I always used to think it was an extinct volcano. I didn’t do geology unfortunately 😦

Such an intriguing landscape! I’m waiting for a dinosaur to come around the corner. 🙂 Was there a volcano or earthquake that created all these boulders?

I used to think it was an extinct volcano but the mountain is a ‘sil’ – it was pushed up on a slant from volcanic action deep below the earth. – Or Trolls, yeah, they dug a big cave under the back and it collapsed and the front lifted up … yeah ;P
