Bisti Badlands

My drive north from Valley of Dreams took me right by the Bisti Badlands. So, even though it was nearly dusk, I decided to stop and explore this relatively accessible badlands. Although much less impressive than KOW or VOD, I had a pleasant 2 hour hike exploring its formations in the end-of-day light — fortunately the area's clay either wasn't as slippery or sticky when wet or was more dried out. And the almost-full moon alone was able to light my 2 mile hike back to Starr.
