Making our way to Lost Lake. The rock sculptures presented some interesting photo opportunities.
The rock formations wich appear to be randomly located across the plain at the head of the lake are actually the tip of a volcanic dike or arm which has been uncovered by water erosion. This volcanic or igneous rock is part of an igneous intrusive body associated with the Highwood Mountain complex. The volcanic arm can best be seen from the air, but because of the buildup of soil it is impossible to tell the extent of the underlying volcanic formations, Bureau of Land Management geologist Jim Mitchell says.
