By the way antrin, keep meaning to ask. Where is your profile picture taken. 

In a US National Park -  White Pocket, Arizona.  Probably one of the most beautiful yet inhospitable places I've ever visited.

white pocket - Google Search

White Pocket, Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, Arizona (americansouthwest.net)

It's a remote part of a remote region.  It took us 2 hours in with a robust 4WD, untracked,  skimpy, scrappy unreliable maps, GPS little help.

We explored for about 2 hours.  Then another 2 hours back out to an unsurfaced 'road'.  Saw no other humans for a total of 7 hours.

Wonderful wind carved multicoloured sandstone shapes.  Quite fragile.

But it's a desert.  Very thirst-making.  No pubs.  No scotch eggs.

I highly recommend it.  Big water bottles are de rigeur.

 

Thanks for asking.  Gave me another excuse to look at some Google images again.  :)

Nice one. I thought it looked like Torridonian sandstone but didn’t look like a Torridonian sky! 😃

I’m off to look at my photies of An Teallach, Liathach and Bienn Alligin.
