Description
“… And still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long, long time ago
Don’t leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door…” Beatles, Abbey Road
The winding one-way road snakes through a vast desert landscape. The road delivers you to "Artist's Palette", a small area on the west facing side of the Black Mountains noted for a variety of rock colors. These colors are caused by the oxidation of different metals found in the rock formations. Iron compounds produce red, pink and yellow And the decomposition of tuff-derived mica produces the green, and manganese minerals produce a lavender purple.
he colors are produced by the oxidation of the metals and elements found in the ground here, and it produces everything from purple and blue to even a slight green.
