This bizarre landscape is in New Mexico - 30 miles south of Farmington.
The wide valley is accessible only in dry weather,
it offers many photogenic rock formations, which sometimes remind of animal shapes.

There is no trail - explorer's spirit is required - GPS is very useful!
We spent 3 days in the different parts!
