as the Apaches called it, is a sky island with peaks over 9000 feet. The treasure is its unique geology and wry, carved, upright revelation of volcano activity and erosion. As I looked at the rock formations astonished by their patterns of lines and curves; they are chthonic and yet so ordered in their forms.
I wish to know who they were
But they will never tell.
Surely they are soul remnants
of the brave and strong ones
who lived their years in earthly harmony
This was their reward
to give reason to circular existence.
27 million years ago volcanic eruption created Turkey Creek caldera and spread ash 2000 feet deep. It fused into rhyolite tuff and later eruptions created the mountains and valleys, while erosion removed the tuff and created the hoodoos and webbed formations.
