Backside of the Bisti

[Michael13]

This corner of the Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness is found by hiking the opposite direction from the parking lot as most of the well known hoodoos. This area is as photogenic as the rest of the Bisti, but requires less of a time commitment.

I spent some time up in that area on my last visit there. Lots of fun stuff to shoot up that way with delightful colors just like you found for this shot. The really dark gravel looking stuff is crumbling petrified wood and the reds are basically ceramic from clay deposits that got baked by an underground coal fire.

Quite a range of colors on the ground. A long exposure gives a nice look to the clouds.

Thanks Alan. This area is great if you only have an hour or two to spend at the Bisti. Lots to see in a small area.

Thanks Jameel. Even the ground you walk on is interesting at the Bisti!

Awesome job Michael, and it is a treat to see this area.
