A rare view of the inside of the Grand Hogback, where Rifle Creek has cut through it. Seventy to forty million years ago, these once-flat layers of rock were at the edge of the uplift that created the Rocky Mountains, and were dragged upright by it. This is at the west edge of the Rockies, and we are looking south: The Rockies are to our left, and the Colorado Plateau is to our right. Different rock layers have different hardness, and erode accordingly, leaving the fin-like features that we see here.
