Roadside highway turnout - Scenic View Area - Photo taken from View Point |
Large turnout with information sign that reads: 'Originally, all the rock of the British Columbia Canadian Rockies lay flat on the shallow sea bed of the western continental shelf where it had accumulated grain by grain over a billion years. About a 175 million years ago the continent of North America began to move westward, overriding the Pacific shore and colliding with the offshore chain of islands. The continental shelf was caught in the squeeze. The flat layers slowly buckled into folds like those you know see here. As time passed, folded mountain ranges sprang up across British Columbia. By 120 million years ago, the Rockies were showing above the sea. They grew for another 75 million years, rising faster than erosion could tear them down - likely reaching Himalayan heights.' |
