 Those rocks up there were from a cool mineral website.There is granite that forms huge rocks.  There is slate a dense and brittle metamorphic rock seen in pilot range. There is Phyillite which is similar to slate and is seen  north of south flanks of Grizzly Peak east of Willard.    

One location with granite has the  scary name of Devil's Playground.
This amazing site below greets visitors.
