The whole area out here was once volcanic.  Our subdivision is on a ridge
200' above the surrounding area.  It was once a river bed where lava flowed
down.  The lava is much more resistant to erosion than the surrounding
sedimentary rock, which has worn down over the eons.  I understand the
"fresh" lava flows over on the other side of town are still a couple
thousand years old.  However, the total lack of vegetation on it makes it
look like is much more recent.  Some of the high-dollar subdivisions are
over in that area.
