Sandstone columns at last light.
This wind-sculpted sandstone monument stands near the visitor’s center at Valley of Fire State Park (near Las Vegas, Nevada). The park is widely known for its brilliant vermillion sandstone, brought to the surface up by underground turmoil and carved over millenia by the wind.
Much of the sandstone in the park, including this, are of the great dune field called Navajo which swept over the American west eons ago.
In addition, the park has been home to native Americans for thousands of years. Some of the petroglyphs in the park date to 1,000 BC, including a famous narrative of an accidental fall while scrambling on the rocks.
