Is this the Big Rock Candy Mountain that the late Burl Ives made famous in the 1950s? Nahhh, but it should be.
The one Burl sang about is located in central Utah. According to the Utah Geological Survey, the folks living around Marysvale stuck a sign in front of a mountainside with decided volcanic origins. And indeed that mountain is somewhat colorful, with shades of red, yellow, umber and white.

Unfortunately, due to the teeth-jarring, rig-wrecking washboard road you have to negotiate for 27 miles to see the Racetrack, not many folks actually get to ponder this mystery while gazing at the rocks and their trails.
