Landscape the Spanish Peaks

the Spanish Peaks · 02:22 PM

When the Peaks were formed, magma also surged upward into cracks in the ground and hardened. Over time, the softer sediments surrounding the hardened magma wore away, leaving giant walls called dikes.
These dikes radiate from the Peaks like spoke in a wheel, and vary in length from a few hundred feet to over 14 miles. We left our campground and went out on Highway 12 near the small town of La Veta to view this geologic oddity

Cool images of some prehistoric looking country.

This part of the country lends to a great photographic experience.

It really is beautiful and interesting to view Tony, when we got back to our campground, we found that one of the dikes was actually right in our backyard, didn't even realize what it was before our trip.
