Sandstone Plates in Split Mountain Gorge

Split Mountain Gorge is a geology lesson. It is a gap between two ranges, the Fish Creek Mountains and the Vallecito Mountains, and it also is a place where several land formattions have been mashed together, waiting for you to study them and try to figure them out. A good geology book should help.
