Glacial till
Forces of nature move rocks around. A retreating glacier deposited this pile of rocks and dirt, or till, at the end of the last Ice Age. Today, Heartbreak Creek erodes the pile, washing out the stones.

LAND SLIDE!!!!!!!!!

Pretty!
these rocks are amazing! I wonder how old they are??!!!!!
I really enjoyed looking at these pictures!!
i am amazed by this, it really puts into perspective how cool our earth is and howitwas created. I myself am a creationist and belive the Bible word for word. It wasn't a huge chunk of ice that carved that, it was the mighty finger of God himself! this entire establishment is an abomonation and a blight on our Lord and masters perfect creation!
Go in Christ and God bless!
