The 45,000 acre Bisti Wilderness is located in northwestern New Mexico about 40 miles south of the town of Farmington. This remote colorful landscape of eroded badlands contains numerous hoodoos, pinnacles and spires. Dinosaur fossils and petrified wood logs can also be found here. The unusual rock formations at Bisti are composed of interbedded sandstones, shales, mudstones and coal which erode at different rates resulting in the alien-like topography. Bisti has no established trails and using GPS is recommended.
