Geological Wonders

Valley of Fire State Park contains 150-million-year-old Aztec Sandstone formations shaped by shifting sand dunes and complex faulting. This collection highlights the park's distinct geological features, including the striped patterns of the Fire Wave, the narrow corridors of Kaolin Slot Canyon, and erosion-carved landmarks like Elephant Rock. These sites demonstrate the effects of mineral oxidation and water erosion on red, pink, and white sandstone layers across the Mojave Desert landscape.
