various types of fairy chimneys.
Among these are those with caps,
cones, mushroom like forms pillar
and pointed rocks. With the action
of smaller, secondary volcanoes and
the action of rivers, wind and flood
waters, this layer of tuff has
slowly but steadily been eroded to
produce the rock formations know as
"fairy chimmeys". We will take a
walk through this amazing valley.
