But, are there cave monsters?
These are "petrified sand dunes"
of long ago. Iron, magnesium, and
other minerals in the rock have dyed
the stone into its palette of fiery
hues.
Although difficult to see in this
harsh landscape, you have a chance of
seeing lizards, ravens, antelope,
ground squirrels, coyotes,
black-tailed jackrabbits,
roadrunners, tortoises, foxes,
bighorn sheep or an eagle soaring
overhead. You might even see some
rock climbers on these rocks.
But, you won't see any cave monsters!
Sorry 'bout that. Photo was taken in the heart of the Redstone Dunes in Southern Nevada's Lake Mead NRA. (March 2008)
