DescriptionRainbowmtnspt2 oli 2020261 lrg.jpeg	The second image shows an area about 150 kilometers (100 miles) northwest of the geological park. Like the park’s rusty rocks, these sandstones are from the Cretaceous and appear strikingly red. But even just a hundred miles away, different geological and erosional processes have played out. “That region just doesn’t have the same tilted colorful beds and small-scale rugged topography that the park area has.”
