Looks like my bowl of vanilla ice cream after I’ve been stirring in the chocolate sauce.

Can't see much of anything on GE but blurry formations that look very much like the Mars Face.

MapThe map doesn't show where Coyote Bluffs are, so you'd have to get a better map. According to more than one Web site, only 10 people a day are allowed into this area, and they show a video at the ranger station to show you how to get there.
There are not a lot of nearby towns!

I went to college in Flag and a good hiking buddy of mine nearly got caught in a flash flood in one of those canyons. Late summer storms take a life or two every couple of years.
