A scenic scramble
In a tucked-away patch of the Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness called the Egg Garden, nature gives Fabergé a run for his money. High desert winds and intense monsoon rains continually erode these 'eggs' to expose striated patterns of sediment. The effect is so unearthly that the strewn stones are also known as the Alien Egg Hatchery. An eerie title, but here among StarCraft-esque hoodoos and hillocks, it feels apt.
