Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness Part 1

There are distinct voices inside rocks, shallow washes, shifting skies; they are not silent. And there is motion, subtle, unseen, like breathing. Joy Harjo 

The Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness is an amazingly scenic and colorful expanse of undulating mounds and unusual eroded rocks covering 45,000 acres, hidden away in the high desert even less publicized. Consequently, the cracks are the result of differential weathering conditions, whereas the speckled appearance due to mineral deposits in the stream that cut through the sedimentary rock. In this beautiful landscape here wind and water erosion over a long time. The area has carved an imaginary world of bizarre rock formations and hoodoos in the form of pinnacles, spires, mushrooms. Other rare forms that have fascinated names such as “Cracked Eggs”, “Bisti Wings” and “Rock Garden”.
