La Garita Natural Arch Pano The Ventana Arch formed within a magma intrusion called a volcanic dike. Lava from the Summer Coon volcanic complex intruded into cracks in the surrounding alluvial and volcanic deposits about 30 million years ago. Parts of the magma cooled at different rates and separated from the rest of the wall, and when the surrounding deposits eroded away, the inner part of the arch collapsed, leaving a hole in the dike. The end result was a 40-foot-tall, 30-foot-wide arch. visitriograndecounty.com
Wheeler Geologic Area In 1908 Wheeler National Monument was established in the name of explorer George Wheeler who first surveyed the area, it was the first national monument in Colorado. The monument was later downgraded to a geologic area when visitors greatly decreased after World War II. The Wheeler Geologic Area sits in the La Garita Caldera, a huge crater that was formed about 28 million years ago during one of the largest known volcanic eruptions on Earth. The volcano spewed an estimated 1,200 cubic miles of ash over much of what is now Colorado, and collapsed, forming the roughly 22-mile-by-47-mile crater. Over time, natural forces compressed the ash into a rock called tuff, which is porous and highly erodible. Wheeler’s strange hoodoos and spires are the results of millions of years of erosion of this soft tuff.
