Answer: Once I went (VERB) to Boulder Canyon. That's just north of Hooverville (NOUN). The walls of the canyon (NOUN) looked like they were striped. I found out that the stripes were really layers (NOUN) of rock formed millions of years (NOUN) ago. The ranger told me that the canyon was formed (VERB) by something called erosion. That means that water (NOUN) washed and scraped (VERB) away at the rock and dug out the canyon. The ranger (NOUN) also said that many fossils had been discovered (VERB) in the walls of the canyon. It was (VERB) interesting.
