Polychrome Mountain ridgeline in Denali National Park, Alaska

Denali National Park's Polychrome Mountain has varying colours from minerals within the ancient lava flows. It was formed about 65 million years ago as pressure from the pacific tectonic plate sliding under the continental shelf forced magma to the surface. [poly = varied, chrome = colour]
