The drive on Needles Highway is only 14 miles long but it offers some stunning views that can make the trip take quite a while if you slow down and stop to soak it all in.

The highlight on the route are views of the Needles, dominating granite rock formations that jut form the landscape and tower above.

Seen here are the Cathedral Spires (I think), probably the most notable formation. I opted for a high contrast conversion to black and white to really show off the depth and detail in the rocks.
