A badlands-type of colorful layers of soft sediment. The most spectacular colors are best visible very early or very late in the day, especially after recent rain.

What you see is a clear representation of what an artist's palette would look like brought to nature. The landscape here is incredible, not only for its beauty, tranquility, and shapes, but also for the different colors that are evident due to minerals, including red hematite and green chlorite.

The many different metal oxides of iron, aluminum, magnesium and titanium make the hill shine in different colors. At sunset it is even more spectacular.
