Behind the Rocks
Landforms in the WSA include massive Navajo sandstone domes and fins, steep cliffs, and several natural arches. Sixty percent of the area is barren of vegetation with the remainder in juniper and desert shrubs. Recreational use of the WSA is limited to hiking, fin walking and climbing. There are extreme topographical constraints to foot travel within this WSA.
