Towering rock formations just out of the dry, grassy terrain here, providing little oasis’s of shade for any who might traverse these plains. The view from atop them affords a three-sixty degree panorama of the plains, and the view is worth the climb.

Along its perpetual journey downwards from the mountains, this icy stream provides an oasis in the vast plains surrounding it. Where it will eventually journey farther south to carve the canyons of the Lowlands, here it is still a pleasantly meandering brook, that attracts many forms of plant and wildlife.

Towering over the southern Gulf, the cliffs here offer a grand view, and a very long fall should one get too close to the crumbling edge. A huge old tree grows at the edge, its great branches shading the edge and spreading out into nothingness. In the spring the tree is covered with pale pink blossoms.
