Hiking

The interesting formations formed by the red sandstone cliffs here are not man-made. Nature was the architect, piling up rocks here over the course of Earth's history and partially smoothing them down again through erosion—a perpetual process.

Beautiful large red sandstone rock right on the side of the path. But why do you have to spray this beautiful nature?
