red rock
Iron-stained stone
Red rock refers to sandstone and other geological formations with reddish coloring from iron oxide, prominent in landscapes like the American Southwest: We hiked through the red rocks of Sedona.
Red rock country draws tourists for its dramatic scenery.
The term also names a style of country-influenced rock music from the 1950s and 60s.
