Photolady2014 Loc: Southwest Colorado
 
Took a little ATV ride and then hike yesterday.
The Wheeler Geologic Area is a highly eroded outcropping of layers of volcanic ash, in the La Garita Mountains of Mineral County, in southern Colorado in the western United States about 10 miles east north-east of Creede. The ash is the result of eruptions from the La Garita Caldera approximately 25 million years ago.
These formations are also called Hoodos. Unfortunately many of our pine trees have died in the past 10 years due to pine beetle. The colors over here are just starting to change. It will be a week or 2 before they are in full swing!

Beautiful! Beth, can I drive to that location or is it a hike there? I ask because I have very bad knees and can’t go hiking.

Oops, I just looked at Google Maps and saw that there is only a 4x4 road up there and then a long hike. Oh well.
