Sunshine and 60 degrees are forecast for today, and perhaps a bike ride will happen today. A Canadian blogger I follow was recently in Zion Nation Park and noted the beautiful red rock way up there like we have and loves them like I do. The deserts on our west coast capture many hearts, even those who are from the frozen north! Like me. No thanks, 40 degrees is cold enough these days.
Hey!! That’s me that you’re talking about!! The red rock landscape definitely won my heart. The desert was surprisingly more lush than I was expecting. It goes to show just how resilient nature is, even in extreme places like the desert.
I wonder what makes those rocks so red. Is it iron (rust)?
Yes, iron deposits. This are was once underwater 200 million years ago so the sediments had plenty of time to decay and solidify. We get to enjoy their beauty. ❤️
