The locals have named it ‘Nyari’ which is Kigiriama for a depression. The depression is ever expanding because of erosion. It was once a great sandstone ridge scrapped by wind, torrents and floods into a series of jagged crimson gorges. The craggy gullies and valleys smoulder with sun producing a flaming mirage. It reveals a light mixture of pink, yellow, white and dominant crimson. It is a site to behold.
