Looking at the formations from a distance, there is little sense of scale. I cannot tell if the distance between the smallest ravines is 10's or 100's of feet nor if their height is 100 or 500 feet.
It is clear that water has played a significant role in the erosion of the sides of these rocks. Given the infrequency of lots of water being dumped here, it s difficult from my untrained eye to tell if this means the rocks are relatively soft or not. Whatever the case, the formations are really beautiful.
This place is not far from the petrified forest and is protected as part of the land. This must have once been quite a place to see.
It feels like a smoother, gentler Grand Canyon which lies just to the west of here.
