basalt layering and flood deposits

Curious on the YEC explanation of basalt layering that are often exposed in river canyons particularly in the Pacific Northwest. Typically many layers are noticable with depositional layers in between. This formation (not even considering the time require to cut thru the basalt to form canyons) is a slam dunk indicator of looooong time periods.On a recent vacation I snapped this picture from Yellowstone national park. Which of the deposition layers here are represented by the flood? How about the time to cut a canyon thru this hard rock several times?The above sample is a modest example I have seen canyons in Washington state with over a dozen distinct flows.

Looking around (since no resident yec'er here would help out) I found the following article that indeed addresses the columbia plateau lava flows. Field Studies in the Columbia River Basalt, Northwest USA | Answers in Genesis Interesting they conclude "Considering all these evidences, we conclude that the Columbia River basalts were deposited during the Flood, not after the Flood."

Just found another YEC paper discussing the Columbia Lava flows and others. They claim that entablature and columnar basalt is evidence of submarine flows.http://origins.swau.edu/papers/geologic/lava/default.html
