Eroded bentonite clay hills with pastel bands and rippled textures—great for abstract landscapes and minimalist compositions. Best light is low-angle at sunrise or sunset to bring out striations; clear nights offer excellent dark-sky astrophotography. Remote, on unpaved Hartnet Road; high-clearance or 4x4 recommended and watch for soft clay after rains. No formal facilities or fees—park carefully off the road and follow Leave No Trace to protect fragile surfaces.
