Spectacular cliffs and buttes with rock formations of dramatic shapes and vivid colors dwarfs a visitor at Red Rock Canyon State Park in the Mojave Desert at the southernmost edge of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Kern County, California, USA. The unusual geologic shapes of this natural attraction were created by wind and rain eroding softer rock layers beneath harder layers of the colored caprocks. Red Rock Canyon has been the filming location of many movies, videos and commercials. Guided nature hikes and campfire programs are offered during the spring and fall months.
