NNot quite the Grand Canyon, yet this sandstone formation provides a glimpse of
the rock cycle hard at work cementing grains of sand into what may someday be a mountain. The carvings
of the stone, created by rain, and acidic concoctions can be seen throughout this sedimentary bed.
Imagine what this might look like over the next few million years, or will this formation submit to the
whims of wind and rain?
