These are near Factory Butte badlands and not as stark but do have appeal. I need to explore this area more.
The Mineral rich badlands of Caineville Butte is composed of Mancos Shale while sulfur and gypsum deposits provide the yellow colort during erosion and weathering over millions of years.
It is so beautiful, sad that it is called “badlands”. A bit typical human, when there is something they cannot use for themselves, it gets a negative name.
Wonderful captures of fascinating land forms!
They are really cool!
Incredible formations!
Yes they are !

Whoa, those are some of the most unique badlands formations I’ve ever seen!
They definitely are unusual. I need to get back there and explore more.
