It may be tentatively suggested, though the data collected hardly warrant any generalization, that the rocks seem to have been first thrown into a series of east-west folds parallel to the main mountain range, and then thrown into cross-folds by the intrusion of the local granite mass To the east of the trail are high porphyry hills covered by a sedimentary sequence having a fairly uniform strike and dip. Near the mouth of the canyon a fault repeats the sequence as if to enable the geologist to check.
