Send us Fan Mail
We hike the Brook Badlands in New Mexico and get up close to hoodoos, caprock, and weirdly hollow sounding walls that make the landscape feel almost unreal. We also talk through how these formations erode and why being careful with your hands and feet matters as much as the view.
• location and quick orientation near Councilor and Farmington
• why the area feels unique and less marked than nearby badlands
• hollow sounding rock, tall hoodoos, and toadstool shaped formations
• how caprock and softer layers create hoodoos through erosion
• wind, water, ice, and seasonal change as drivers of weathering
• safety notes on fragile terrain, slipping risk, and not climbing formations
• spotting caves, pockets, and collapse zones along the cliffs
• moving to a new ridge to study rock layers and a “city” skyline formation
