Cheltenham badlands …
History[edit]
The formation was exposed by poor farming practices in the 1930s that led to soil erosion and exposed the underlying shale.[1]
At one point in time, the Cheltenham Badlands were occupied by a large river. The hills signify the riverbed and as you follow the trail, you begin to see the river history of the badlands. Thousands of years ago, this lake dried out resulting in today's version of the Cheltenham badlands.
The formation is mostly red in colour due to iron oxide deposits[2] with some faint green streaks due to ground water percolation changing the red iron oxide into green iron oxide.[3]

There are badlands here in New Mexico, too . . . the landscapes are just so bizarre. And you captured it so well here, Miss Anne.
