Welcome back, everyone, to another episode of Not Your Average Bucket List by OnlyInYourState. This week we are covering New Mexico, and most specifically the Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness, thanks to our article titled “A Jaw Dropping Place In New Mexico, This Wilderness Area May Blow You Away.” The Bisti Badlands are steeped in history, once an ancient riverine Delta that underwent geological processes such as sedimentation, erosion, and uplift, resulting in the formation of its distinctive rock formations, hoodoos, and badlands. Today, these badlands encompass over 40,000 acres of land with no marked trails. But they are easily some of the most majestic rock formations in the United States.

Let’s dive in…

Things we’ll cover in this episode:

  1. How do you pronounce Bisti Badlands?
  2. What is the history of the Bisti Badlands area?
  3. What are some featured areas within Bisti Badlands?
  4. Does the Land of Cracked Eggs really look like eggs?
