Back at the Badlands

How can something so beautiful be called El Malpais? ...the Badlands?  Geologists tell us this was once an inland sea; hence the sandstone bluffs.  Adventures abound!

Extras: Looking out across a 20 mile wide river of lava and scrub brush.  The lava flowed from Mt. Taylor 3.3 - 1.5 million years ago and ended  at the base of these bluffs where the lava eventually ran itself out, forty - fifty miles from the source.
