Native Americans called this mako sika or "bad lands" and you can see why, sort of. I mean without science telling you, oh these color bands are just different geological stria, and this massive erosion causing canyons like this is from the aridness of the region and infrequent but massive flooding, you'd think, what the hell? Also, try traversing these lands in anything but a car and you'd be calling it the badlands too. We saw goats perched atop peaks, prarie dogs sticking their heads out of dry holes, and we saw miles and miles of rainbow-ribboned canyons.
