the Okanogan grew)

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.
