Just north of Cameron, Arizona, adjacent to US 89A you'll encounter badlands topography. Badlands are hosted in mudstones in the Lower Triassic Chinle Formation. These soft sedimentary rocks are weathered to clay-rich soils and sculpted by wind and water into the hummocky badlands landscape.

I didn't realize they were called Badlands and believe it or not, I got almost the exact photo https://azgs.arizona.edu/photo/badlands ... on-arizona

The base for the badlands was laid in the Triassic Period and is referred to as the Chinle Formation. Through continual erosion of the stratified layers of fine-grained rock, the multi-hued hills and buttes have been created. The smooth, uninterrupted contours of these ghostly blue mounds allude to the windy and arid conditions on the desert.
