Rio Grande Rift
A
tremendous split in the earth's crust has resulted in the Rio Grande
rift basin filled with thousands of feet of alluvium from
bordering
mountains and lava flows from deep within the earth. About 650 feet
of this basin-fill is exposed in the Rio Grande
Gorge
at the bridge crossing.
