"Lavender and Lace"
In the middle of a dry, dusty, and empty desert lies this oasis of multicolored boulders. Millions of years ago various minerals were swept into this desert by winds creating layer after layer of color. Later an inland sea compacted it under tremendous pressure. When the waters departed it was erosion's turn. What is exposed is a small history of our earth. What a marvelous sight!
