This majestic view of this alluvial fan is some 200 meters above the basin of
Canyon Sin Nombre. Overlooking the Carrizo Badlands, this canyon represents millions of years of
erosion and mass wasting. Throughout the cliffs are clays and mudstones, as well as volcanic
intrusions of basaltic rock. Those wishing to transverse this chasm from its basin can expect a 2
hour or longer hike. The sparseness of shade gives little relief from the sun as you ascend this
canyon, but the eye candy presented to those willing to partake in this journey, makes the climb well
worth the blistered feet.
