A Journey Through the Bizarre Landscape of The Wheeler Geological Area

As I landed my spaceship on the rugged terrain of The Wheeler Geological Area, the radio signals barely could penetrate the rock formations. My sensors started registering unusual formations that resembled mushrooms, sandcastles, and giant pebbles. I had never seen anything like it. These formations were formed of ash deposits from nearby volcanoes that erupted over a million years ago. This area was once geysers and hot springs back in the past and its unique geology is a result of billion years of erosion and volcanic activity. It was like walking through a twisted terrain from another planet. The colors were stunning: shades of red, brown, orange, pink, yellow ochre, and green. I also learned that this place is not well-explored yet by humans and many local geologists are fascinated by it. The silence of the area was a welcoming feeling. In my analysis, I found that rocks in this area had magnetic properties and when compared to rocks from my past visit in Mesa Verde National Park, I found that the readings were different.
