Typical streambank rocks along the Neversink river. These were eroded from the colorful sandstone and shale beds that accumulated in the Catskill region during the Devonian Era, over 350 million years ago.
These towering, rounded boulders originated in a violent eruption of the Yellowstone Supervolcano almost 1.5 million years ago.
In a flash, an area of land about half the size of Rhode Island was blown into the stratosphere, and white-hot flows of ash and pumice buried everything within a hundred kilometers under dozens, even hundreds of meters of fiery debris. Eventually, the glowing rock cooled and crystallized into a solid mass.
In the intervening eons, water and ice wore away at the weakest parts of that crystalline structure, leaving behind the grooved and oddly geometrical cliff faces that tower over the Cascade River today.

Easily one of the top 10 most beautiful locations in North America. 43.9083 N, 110.5603 W. Go there.
Beautiful shot. I just discovered your gallery. We are very fortunate to live in such a beautiful area.
