Elephant Butte II
The Navajo say that the true nature of this landscape is only revealed in motion. At first, that sounds like a cliché from a travel guide, but then you drive for a while along a dusty track that winds its way through the valley, and you gradually begin to understand what they mean. The rocks shift. Not literally, of course — but the perspective changes with every kilometre, and what looked from a distance like a single massive block unfolds into something multi-layered, silent, alive.
Elephant Butte is one of those rock formations that change shape depending on your vantage point and have been sculpted over millennia by wind and water.
