Km 210 - Lapie River

Approximately 100 million years ago, flat horizontal layers of rock were buried several kilometres below the surface of the earth. Movement by rigid plates of the earth's crust subjected the rock to massive compression and strain, and it was deformed into folds. Over millions of years, the rocks rose to their present position, exposing the folds in the canyon wall.
