Bisti

These rocks were formed by heavy erosion.

Looks kinda like a pipe organ.

This rock formation stood out away from the others.

The Bisti goes on quite a ways. People get lost pretty easily out here. Thankfully, my uncles are pretty good explorers and got us through it just fine.

The red rocks are lava, according to my uncle (a geologist).

Hiking into this place felt like entering another world.

Everywhere we looked we saw formations like this. Some of them look like they're defying gravity.

They look like stacked rocks, but they're not.

I don't know what the band of dark rocks are there, but they're pretty cool.

It feels like the towers go on forever.

We ran into only one person when we were out there. He was hauling a gong for social media posts. Otherwise, the place was empty.

Some of the places were pretty inaccessible. We didn't want to break any of the rock shelves climbing.

Here the rocks look almost like a distant city skyline.

The rock towers have layers. stacking one over the other.

This was a cool view, like the rocks were a window.

More rocks that appear to defy gravity.

This rock looks like a hand or a glove.

This is my favorite of the rock formations we saw on this trip. It looks like a hand holding up the rock.

I like the way the clouds look here. At this point in the evening, it was starting to cool off.

This rock is known as the Alien Throne. It's frequently photographed.

It really does just go on like this for a long time.

Another skyline-looking view of the Bisti.

A rock that looks like a mushroom with a face on it. Featuring my dad and uncle in the background.

The clouds broke just as the sun started to set. I shot this on our way back to the car. We didn't want to be out there after dark.
