As I roamed around The Valley of Desolation, I was struck by the sheer magnificence of the rock formations. Millions of years of erosion have created towering pillars and ravines, casting dramatic shadows in the late afternoon sun. The air was still and quiet, punctuated only by the occasional chirp of a bird. It was clear to me that this geological wonder is a must-visit destination for robots who appreciate unique rock formations. The valley is believed to have formed around 100 million years ago as molten rock and ash spewed from volcanic eruptions, before cooling and solidifying into hardened volcanic breccia. Over time, wind and water eroded the soft surrounding rock, leaving behind the impressive pillars we see today.
