This is a beautiful pic! The colors, the shapes, it's very arty. The rocks are such an unusual color compared to the ones in Ohio. It looks like a fantastic place to visit.

Re: Wilson Canyon, Nevada
The red rock of Nevada is stunning. Thank you! Would love to take the credit, but the area holds such a beauty all it's own, any photo taken there would be lovely and colorful! Hugging

Re: Wilson Canyon, Nevada
Do you know what kind of rock it is? Is it sandstone or something else?

Re: Wilson Canyon, Nevada
I honestly don't know, but would guess a type of sandstone. It was a hard shale like stone, and not porous at all.

Thanks. I'm trying to learn more about rocks & geology, that's why I asked. And it's such an unusual color, very eye-catching.

Re: Wilson Canyon, Nevada
Looks a little like granite.
the red look could be due to small red moss type of vegetation spreading over the rocks.

Bilko is a geologist. he might know.

Re: Wilson Canyon, Nevada
The red is a sort of marbled color in the rock itself. Is there a red granite? If so, that might be it. Either of you have time to write Bilko and ask?

Re: Wilson Canyon, Nevada
I fell down out here a few times... the technical term is "hard".
