The Painted Chasm - BC - Places of Geologic Significance on Waymarking.com

The Painted Chasm was formed by glacial melt cutting into lava flows. The plaque reads: "At the close of the Ice Age about 10,000 years ago, a stream fed by melting ice cascaded over a falls forming this chasm by cutting into some of the lava flows that helped to build the Fraser Plateau. Individual lava flows are shown here by the horizontal layering. When the glacial ice finally disappeared the flow of meltwater stopped." The colours in the chasm vary from purple to gold and everything in between, depending on the mineral make-up of the particular flow of lava, and how bright a day it is.
