It is clear to see that the paint mines interpretive park is a geographical wonder located right here in our backyard. However, its mysterious creation holds a vast history that I know nothing about and want to study. I have visited this park once and have discovered through posted kiosks the formation's usage by the indigenous people of the region, but nothing more. Three distinct layers; pink, white and yellow dominant the hundreds of clay spires. Each layer must be older than the one above it; I am most interested in dating these formations and further discovering how much longer they will maintain their integrity.
Pictures to come...
