    Hiking

    If, like us, you are wondering about formations in rocks:
    The features in the rocks are a natural formation. The veins that stand out are quartz which are stronger and more resistant to erosion. Basically when it rains it damages the stone, it washes away sediments on the whole rock but not on the quartz veins.
