Photo Point: Capture the intricate patterns and textures of Beehive Rock, especially during golden hours for enhanced lighting.
The Beehives are sandstone formations that not only demonstrate the unique design that can be created by nature, but are also an excellent representation of geologic cross bedding. Those are the grooved lines going in different directions. The layers or beds represent different layers of silt that are deposited at different times. The beds indicate the angle of the wind or water was moving at the time the material was deposited. Cross bedding is very common in sand dunes, beach deposits and river sediments. A short path winds through rocky dunes with hills of the Muddy Mountains visible in the distance.
