Gold Belt Tour Scenic Byway
Phantom Canyon Road Part 1

In looking at this rock it's hard to tell if it hardened at this slope/angle or was tilted by other geological forces or what. And I noticed that a lot of the small side canyons have walls turned from each other at 90° angles, kind of like the cleavage faces would be on a very large chunk of granite. Of course, over the time that these faces have been on the surface and exposed directly to the forces of erosion they have been worn and broken down irregularly... but that's just what I think and I'm not a bona fide, card-carrying, degreed geologist.

Notice the Virginia Creeper vines climbing the granite in the shade, and all the other vegetation rising directly out of the rock.
