The Three Maries in Moon Valley

The Three Maries in Moon Valley

The Three Marias are over one million years old. A combination of gravel, clay, salt and quartz which were subject to extreme erosion. Unfortunately several years ago a tourist climbed on the fragile first Maria, destroying it. Since then a barrier has been created to protect the formation.
