A fifteen mile highway drive took us to Ken Caryl Ranch, a neighborhood located in a pretty cool valley between the hogback just SW of Denver and the foothills behind it. The hogback is a flat piece of rock that was pushed up by the Rocky Mountains forming, and presently lies at a tilt, so you can see the diagonal stratifications in it.
