Our first location was Agathla Peak (popularly called El Capitan) - a large rock shooting into the sky. There was a coral and a stand nearby - which offered great foreground.
Agathla Peak is an eroded volcanic plug - basically the lava cooled in the center of the volcano. Agathia Peak is part of the Navajo Volcanic Field, in the southern Colorado Plateau. The ages of these formations are 25 million years old.
