That reminds me of Granite Falls in BC, where there are little pools going all the way up the wall of a waterfall. The water is ice-cold but the pools are warm in the summer, and not very busy because you can only get there by boat.
Holy shit, dude, I had to write another comment to you.
I HIGHLY recommend visiting the Mineral Museum of the Great Lakes Region (aka the A. E. Seaman Mineral Museum). SO many cool rocks (4,000 on display). Just a blast.

Definitely still cool. The layers are captivating.

Not shown are little pools to the right, people hang out in those cause they get a bit warmer.

If you go there, check out the beautiful waterfalls in the area! Also, there is Lake of the Clouds with gorgeous views.

Unfortunately, not at the moment :/.
Had a planned trip with the wife and it's all smoke and ash.
Hope Canada is able to contain those fires soon, before more woodlands are destroyed.

But does it fossil?

How do the rocks end up jagged like that? Wouldnt the water erode it smoothly

Not an expert but this looks like shale. Shale tends to break in flat planes because of its chemical structure.
