At first glance it may appear to be a vast wasteland with nothing to see or do, but a closer look will reveal some very surprsing finds. On our first full day of exploration we drove to the badlands in search of slot canyons. From where we parked, this is what we saw...
After hubby convinced me that we wouldn't get lost inside the slots (we made sure there were plenty of markers where we started), we headed down to find this...
It looks like dried mud, like it could crumble in very easily, but it's actually quite hard. Each turn revealed more photo opportunities.
It was verrrry narrow in some places...
And, very deep in others...
We were so glad we hiked down inside. It was amazing!
You'd never know this was there by driving down the highway. A little research and a little detour made for a fun little adventure.
