Red Rock Coulee At up to 2.5 metres in diameter, the large, red boulders in Red Rock Coulee are among the largest in the world. They were formed in prehistoric seas — layers of sand cal cite and iron oxide collected around a nucleus, formed by shells, leaves, or bones. These concretions grew larger as the circulating waters deposited more layers. Along with the exposed rocks, you will also find prairie inhabitants such as deer, coyotes, rabbits, rattlesnakes, and nighthawks. 56 kilometers | 35 miles Being a natural area, this park does not have bathrooms or garbage disposal.
