After hiking nearly a mile from the nearest road, and seeing nothing but sand and desert scrub, you crest a hill and suddenly encounter the first collection of hoodoos in the seemingly surreal Valley of Dreams.
A solitary sand hoodoo points the way to the next collection of surreal formations along the Valley of Dreams trail in the Bisti Badlands of New Mexico.
The setting desert sun colors the fast-moving clouds in this long exposure near the Valley of Dreams trailhead in the Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness area of northwestern New Mexico.
