This desert was an ocean 40 million years (or so) ago. The formations are chalk and have been weathered over time.
WOW. Here are a few crummy pictures to try and show you how awesome it is!
The first formation is called ‘The Crystal Mountain’ because it’s made from crystal!
From here we drove through the Valley of Obstacles.
Then onto the formations . . . . . and the fossils.
Next time on the blog – sleeping in the desert
Wow wow...that blue sky!! Polarizing filter? Looks awesome! So much dust, I feel hot and sticky just looking at the photos. Looks like a great experience though.
