Okanogan Country Geology
(or How the Okanogan grew)

Glen and Elizabeth Widel photo
Rock uplifted into the elements is immediately subjected to erosion by all the climatic forces, rain, snow, ice, wind. Erosion takes place differentially, not smoothly. Thus jagged peaks are left where some kinds of rock resist better than others. This is the Snagtooth Ridge seen over the then-building North Cascades Highway, looking east.
