We were so taken with this remarkable place during our first visit the same week in 2023 that we immediately promised ourselves to return again in 2024.
Lovely shots! The last shot with the tree is my favorite of yours in this set. I'd love to go back again, the only drag is lacking a 4x4 vehicle and having to rely on a guide that may want to follow a certain route through the place instead of just letting me run wild.

The bookends, for me, Al, but the middle I love the texture!

Thanks, Douglas. We call it 'brain rock' but I'm sure there's a better name for it.

Thanks, TR! We used a guide in 2023 but this year chose to visit on our own. My friend drove his 4Runner and I took my Tundra - both are stock vehicles with no lifts or special tires (I wouldn't try it in my Crosstrek or in an all-wheel drive). I think a 4x4 is necessary, mostly for the deep sand rather than rocky conditions (we didn't air down our tires and just powered through the sand).
I like this set a lot, Al! Especially 1 & 3. Great job. Good to hear stock Tundra can make it there, that’s what I have. Deep sand always makes me nervous so I have not been there yet.

Thanks Ross...I sent a PM about our trip in 2023. I've been there twice now so if I return again I hope to camp overnight and take advantage of the sunrise.
Al, those are nice. When I went there it was sooooooo windy that I couldn't even take images. I had to find pockets of wind blocks to capture images. Would definitely like to revisit someday.
