We originally thought the rock structure at this location was one of the area's common dikes but got some great information about it from Oehm Martin of Lathrop State Park: "It is part of the Dakota Hogback (Dakota sandstone of the early Cretaceous) that was folded almost vertical when the Rocky Mountains rose." Oehm set up a fun earthcache that we enjoyed on our tour of the Highway of Legends. Details here:<br />
