Serene Scene near Sedona

Following the deposition of lava flows from the nearby House Mountain Shield Volcano 15,000 years ago, the Mogollon Rim retreated about 4 miles due to (ceaseless) erosion. These red rocks seen against the eastern edge of the volcano indicate the original southern edge of the massive Mogollon Rim of central AZ. The Mogollon Rim marks the southernmost edge of the sprawling (yet utterly awesome) Colorado Plateau.
