This formation, as near as I can tell, is known
as Calico Tanks. It's basically a large, petrified sand
dune that has become different colors of sandstone. |

If you look really
carefully, you can see the moon. |

Las Vegas is in the distance |

These burros were brought here by the Spanish
(non-native) and are "kept under control" by the BLM. |

This could have been a better picture, but right
at this point, my battery blew out so I wasn't able to get a
good picture of the burro IN my window, just like the previous
picture. |

This kid found himself behind the burro - which
I'm given the impression is NEVER a good idea. |
 |
Pretty tame burros |
