Calico Hills
The Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is a 95,819-acre section of the Mojave Desert. This area features desert landscape, as well as hills and mountains. This diverse landscape is a direct result of thrust faulting, a fracture in the earth’s crust where one crustal plate was thrust over another. The gray rocks in these pictures are carbonate rocks of an ancient ocean, while the tan and red rocks are sandstone.
Bill appears frequently in these pictures. I need something, well someone, to give perspective to the landscape.
