These striated formations are beautiful but they are also informative. The red and amber layers tell a story that goes back millions of years. It's a story of geology, climate change, and the changing flora and fauna. Known for its wealth of fossils, paleontologists are known to frequent this state park to gather information about prehistoric creatures such as the saber tooth tiger and the early forms of horses and camels.
