Om
Raske fakta: Disse klippene faller over 300 meter ned til en gammel havbunn som tørket inn for millioner av år siden. Fossiler av sjødyr som ammonitter og koraller er spredt over landskapet, bevis på vannet som en gang dekket hele denne regionen.
Høydepunkter: Ved solnedgang skaper klippekanten en dramatisk optisk illusjon: horisonten bak avgrunnen smelter perfekt sammen med den flate dalen nedenfor, slik at jorden ser ut som om den bokstavelig talt slutter ved føttene dine. Morgensolen farger kalksteinsklippene i dype rav- og roségullfarger som skifter hvert minutt.
Insidertips
- Download offline maps on your GPS app before driving out, as phone signal disappears completely beyond the last paved road.
- Wear sturdy hiking shoes and long pants to scramble along the cliff line safely and protect against thorny desert shrubs.
- Pack wind layers even in warm months, as the exposed plateau gets extremely gusty and much cooler near the edge.
- Camp overnight for a stunning starry sky and sunrise views without the daytime crowds that arrive around 10 AM.
