  • The Boulder River squeezes through a narrow crack in the rock near Darrington in Washington's Central Cascades. The water's milky appearance is due to an extended exposure. A large cedar tree that fell in a storm is trapped by one of the large rocks in the river.

  • The rising sun shines between two of the Moeraki Boulders, located at Koekohe Beach along Otago coast of New Zealand. Dozens of large, almost perfectly spherical boulders line the beach. About two-thirds of the rocks range in size from 1.5 to 2.2 metres (4.6 to 6.7 ft).

  • A band of cirrus clouds take on pastel colors at sunset in the sky over Mount Larrabee and the Boulder Peaks in the North Cascades of Washington state. Mount Larrabee, which stands 7,865 feet (2,397 meters) is part of the Skagit Range, which is a sub-range of the North Cascades. It is located less than a mile and a half south of the Canadian border and was originally known as Red Mountain. During the summer months, its red peak, caused by the oxidation of iron in its rock, is distinct.

  • Light shines into a section of the Balconies Cave, a talus cave in Pinnacles National Park, California. The park's high peaks are partial remnants of the ancient Pinnacles volcano, shifted 190 miles north of its original location due to movement of the San Andreas Fault. Talus caves, like Balconies Cave, are narrow passages in the piles of large rocks that have broke off and landed at the base of the peaks.

  • Moss, ferns, and trees grow from a large rock outcropping near the Minister Valley in Allegheny National Forest in Warren, Pennsylvania. The Allegheny Front was once part of a vast delta and layers of a hard, sandstone congolomerate were deposited. Between 250 and 320 million years ago, the Allegheny Front was lifted, forming hills and mountains. Over time, erosion exposed, split, or dislodged and moved the former sedimentary rock, resulting in large rock outcroppings.

  • An iceberg carries a rock though Jökulsárlón, Iceland's glacial lagoon. Glaciers have been known to carry rocks great distances. Rocks fall onto glaciers, which move slowly down mountains. When the glacier melts so much that it can no longer support the rock, the rock is dropped and it becomes known as a glacial erratic. The term referrs to rocks that are different in size, shape or composition from other rocks around them.

  • A large rock is balanced on a sandstone pillar in the Hartnet Draw of Capitol Reef National Park, Utah. Balanced rocks form when a layer of more durable rock sits atop a layer that is less resistant to erosion.

  • A Yellow-Bellied Marmot (Marmota flaviventris) rests on rocks along the rim of Crater Lake, Oregon. Yellow-Bellied Marmots form dens in large boulders and hibernate through the late fall and winter.
