Mill Creek Castles - a photo on Flickriver

Mill Creek Castles

            Riding high above waves of flaming aspen, the cliffs and pinnacles above Mill Creek in the West Elk Mountains catch the late afternoon sun. The formations are the result of erosion working on breccia formations (fine fragments angular rocks embedded in deposits of volcanic ash (tuff)) that were formed during violent volcanic eruptions around 34 million years ago. Similar formations occur throughout the West Elk range and neighboring San Juan Mountains.

Our leaf gawk this year was pleasurable with abundant color and temperate weather, though the latter resulted in mostly cloudless skies. More documentation to follow…
