Instructions and help about With Granite Outcrops Would Continue To Fws

This is the southern end of the City of  Rocks National Reserve in southern Idaho.   This area's most namesake feature is called Twin  Sisters. And you can just see that little pinnacle   sticking up above the hill over there, I believe  that's the South Sister. The Twin Sisters are   out of view mostly but are this prominent, double  monoliths of granitic rock and they formed a major   landmark to immigrants heading west on the  California Trail in the mid to late 1800s.   What makes this area special is City of Rocks,  of course, is dominated by granitic rock that   has been sculpted and shaped into a really  fascinating landscape of towers and fins and   arches and pinnacles and all sorts of things. But  I'm particularly fascinated and interested today   in looking at the rocks themselves and what they  have to tell us about this area. So the face   behind me here is one of the more spectacular  outcrops in the area and yet there's no   tourists here. T
