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!

Very, very nice collection of a subject almost never seen. I like your 'eye.' I've camped & photographed in Goblin Valley SP in So. Utah— the same but different. Will put Wheeler on my 'to-do' list! Thanks for sharing.

Those are some crazy formations! Good job getting their portraits. I'm a bit jealous. And I should know that bird, having lived in Colorado for so many years. Camp robber?

Never saw or heard of this area before. Very Bryce like images. Nicely done.


Thanks so much. It is a small area and most don’t know about it.
