El Morro

These are my snapshots of El Morro taken at 50 miles an hour while on my way to Zuni. It is a national monument. http://www.nps.gov/elmo/index.htm the rock is sandstone which is very soft and it forms a cuesta, a rock formation created by blowing wind. The wind laid down layers of  the sandstone, not water, and it was still blowing sand around when I was there. The steep cliffs are covered with cravings of names from the natives. the Spaniards  and the Americans.
