Some parts of the Earth still feel secret, unknown and untouched.

I have dreamed of this place for years but finally had the privilege of exploring its hills, mesas and scars.

A hard vertical hike up a rib of crumbling rock and loose dirt led me to this vantage point over the desert world. It was an incredible experience.
