Millions of years of erosion have transformed this once colossal mountain range into a collection of rolling hills. However, the tectonic plates beneath the earth started to rise, lifting the ancient rock beneath the surface and exposing this impressive geological formation. You can see this impressive rock formation in Big Bend National Park right at the main entrance near the park's headquarters.
