I'm going through my photos and I'm sure it can't be! Truly the most strangely beautiful place I've been. Highly recommend a tour with @navajotoursusa.com!

Robyn @handcranked.bsky.social · 9h

So glad you lie it. I haven't either! Been to Death Valley, Bryce, Iceland, Goblin State Park, etc. and nothing compares to this. I can't get over it. Every direction you look, there's a different kind of rock and formation.

Beautiful, Maureen!

Robyn @handcranked.bsky.social · 15h

What a cutie! Great capture!

Robyn @handcranked.bsky.social · 15h

Thank you! I can't even begin to describe how cool this place was. There were so many different types of rock and formations in view at any time. In some spots, it was red earth with white rock and a black top. I should have taken a video.
