I'm standing on basalt rock (volcanic rock).
The sides of the gorge is made up of mainly basaltic rock.
Can't you tell how HOT it was out there just by looking at the picture? It's a bit overexposed.
This is the other side of the gorge that runs under the interstate bridge.
There's a sign we walked by that said "Please keep children under control. Dangerous cliff drops" or something to that effect. It was a bit scary to walk along the gorge because it looked as if one wrong step and you're falling into the gorge...Back in the pioneer days, some outlaws escaped into the gorge to hide. A couple of them died and another got shot. The outlaws said that the gorge was lacking in food resources while they were hiding in there...well, duh. It still looks that way.
