It is particularly rewarding with a guide who can relate colours and rock sequences to geological processes rather than simply listing unusual shapes. The wider area is known for scientific interest, so rocks and fossils should remain in place. Choose a specific excursion route and check local access before travelling. Bring water and sun protection for exposed terrain, and avoid assuming that every striking ridge can safely be climbed.
