The area we're in is known as The Granite Dells. Tom Mix, cowboy movie star of the early 1900s, once owned a ranch that included The Dells and several of his movies were filmed here. It certainly fits the classic 'western badlands' movie sets. Another such area is Monument Valley on the UT/AZ border; it's more open but has numerous dramatic rock formations. Many of John Wayne's westerns were set there.
These 6 pix were taken on a hike near our campground. The first is looking down on the campground from one of the higher granite formations directly behind our rig.
Different angle, same subject.
Looking north from same area as last pix. The next 3 pix are of Watson Lake, a reservoir, about 1/2 mile south of the campground.
Taken through a balanced rock 'window'.
Rather scenic, huh?
