   What is Toadstool Geologic Park?

   • Toadstool Geologic Park sits in the bed of a now-vanished river that flowed roughly 45 million years ago. The thick layer of sandstone built up over time in the river’s channel incorporated layers of volcanic that blew in from geologically active regions to the west, creating the streaks of red and green that can be seen today.
