Scenic View/Photo Spot

Standing at this viewpoint, one has a great view of the bulk of the Chisos Mountains. From right to left are Casa Grande, Toll Mountain, and the Northeast Rim. Initially formed from volcanic activity, the Chisos Mountains have also been shaped by faulting and erosion. Researches continue to study these and other formations throughout the park to learn more about the geologic processes that formed this landscape.
