White Stupas



Further on we had a chance to see another spectacular cliff called the “white stupas”. The upper cliffs, again formed by wind erosion, were a lighter color, hence the white name (though there were so many colors showing, white is really not accurate), but down below the cliff face, small rolling hills of red sand dotted the landscape. It was possible to climb down from the tip to the rolling terrain, Jeff and Jack did it, but the rest of us were content to stay on top, taking pictures and then riding in the car to view the red hills up close.
