Remnants of a Volcanic Past in Big Bend National Park

            The many of the signs in this national park comment on the volcanic past of Big Bend area from a few tens of millions of years ago. This was a roadside pulloff on the Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive and is definitely a prominent feature seen from the road. Here one can see evidence in the colors of different volcanic events with ash and other igneous type of rock.
