Detour to Technodrome

We were returning from our trip to Pagosa and we saw this very large and strange rock formation off to the side of the road. We said, "I wonder what that is." Last minute decision - we pulled over and decided to check it out.



It turned out to be very very large - and a little bit farther away than we anticipated. Does this not resemble Crain's technodrome from the Saturday morning hit cartoon, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?
You can see here that there is a tiny cave entrance at the bottom - now we were really intrigued (keep in mind that this whole area is just off the side of the freeway and it's sort of gated off -sort of)
To our disappointment, the cave entrance only went in like 8 feet. It was still pretty cool though. Any one know there geology well enough to explain how this huge bizarre looking rock formation got out in the middle of nowhere...

Sweet climbing action!


Another successful adventure with Breth.
