Red Rocks Reserve Walkway, Owhiro Bay, Wellington 6023, New Zealand
This unusual rock formation was created when an outcrop of ancient volcanic pillow lava was embedded in younger greywacke, along with red and green siltstone. The Red Rocks Scientific Reserve was created in 1972 after growing public concern about quarrying in the area. On Sundays, the gate is closed and the route is only open for walkers and mountain bikers.
