The top of the pipe rising above the bluff was level with the top of the rock surface in 1933. Over time, weather is eroding the sandstone bluff.
[At the bottom of the image is the top edge of the sign labeled Eroding Landmark. Across the way is the top of the bluff with a cylindrical metal pipe sticking out from the top of the rock by probably at least a foot.]

[Low-growing vegetation including some with light yellow flowers and some which looks like it will become tumbleweed once it ages and dries. Everything is about three foot tall.]
