Photo: Desert Land Formations

A place to let the imagination run riot with alien like rock and land formations baking under the hot desert sun by noon and bathing in golden light at the beginning and end of the day.

Eroded, rounded hills and hoodoos are just some of the land formations to see in Bisti Wilderness Area. The Bisti Badlands are set deep in the desert of New Mexico, USA.

Erosion is the main reason for many of the land formations in Bisti, which was once an ancient sea. Over many millennia the land has gone through many changes from becoming a lush river valley to an arid desert where wind and rain has worked to etch out the hidden land and rock formations.
