Description
Crawford Reservoir, Needle Rock and Coal Mountain shine with a glow from the late afternoon spring sunshine.
Needle Rock is an intrusive of rhyodacite volcanic plug located at the west border of the Gunnison National Forest, in the Needle Rock Natural Area near Crawford in the U.S. state of Colorado. It stands 800 feet (240 m) tall above the floor of the Smith Fork of the Gunnison River valley. It originated as the throat of a large volcano about 28 million years ago in the Miocene geological epoch, when molten rock intruded between existing sedimentary rocks. The plug may represent the eroded conduit of a laccolith.
