"Western approach to Park winds its way up through two tunnels.
Cars seem like toys along side the huge red sandstone walls.
Looking back towards valley and western approach to Park.
The monoliths rise high from the canyon floor. [Pictured: Independence Rock]
Independence Rock, famed landmark from centuries of erosion.
Strange shapes and forms in red sandstone at entrance to picnic grounds.
The Coke Ovens, another result of the tricks of erosion.
Famous Rim Rock Drive presents new vistas of wonder at every turn."
