Description
This is the "Organ Pipe" formation about mile from the park Welcome Center. The colors are magnificent in late November. These beautiful rocks are Rhyolite, a silica-rich volcanic rock.
The prominent stone columns, also known as hoodoos, rise like ancient sentinels from the rocky terrain. These towering rock formations are sculpted by centuries of erosion, their tall, slender shapes resembling the spires of a grand cathedral. The stones themselves appear to be made of warm, rusty oranges and soft, muted browns, bearing the marks of time etched into their surfaces.
