Description

Tent Rocks formed over a 100,000 year period nearly 7 million years back. Ever since, the forces of erosion have scoured the area, pushing back the canyon walls and exposing the tents, teepee-shaped formations of volcanic debris for which the area is named. This place is amazing. In the middle of nowhere are these fantastic formations. I have alot of shots from this area that I'll post from time to time. This shot was taken standing in a little cove looking staight up. It's nothing spectacular, but I kind of like it anyways. Thanks for viewing and comments. Enjoy today=o])

I'm always amazed at the ripple of color through the exposed rock and hillside areas of the Southwest. It's easy to see why the Native Americans developed sand paintings - the earthtone colors are gorgeous.
