Verdigris Ravine: A broad, winding river seated between two imposing — and nearly vertical — red stone faces. Travelers will find few footholds, but those brave enough to try might find the layers of rock gradually give way to a natural staircase that extends on for miles. Large arch formations provide a much-needed respite from the elements towards the river's end, where shrubs and even small trees have found the requisite conditions to flourish.
Two Eyes Cenote: Thick scrubland gives way to two perfectly round bodies of water adjacent to one another like a pair of luminous eyes. These pools are deceptively deep, with no living wolf having ever touched the bottom. Both pools are connected by a dense underwater tunnel and a network of subterranean caverns. Some open out into vast open air caverns with only bioluminescent fungi and bacteria to brighten their otherwise solemn halls. The banks of each cenote are steep, and in the spring the mud banks can be too slick climb out of if one is not careful.
Starglow Basin: South of Luneshale Pass there lies an impossibly wide basin characterized by its almost-perfection as a circle. The land here is redgold sand studded by high saguaro cacti and beds of prickly pear. Twisted joshua trees eke a living from deep below the fiery surface of the flat terrain, which stretches in all directions to admit a crushing sunlight. Cheery creosote gives the basin an appearance of shimmering golden water to the distant eye of a thirsty traveler, but there is little to be found here in the day it takes to cross the territory. The littered bones of prey and predator alike tell the story of the hazardous trek. The basin is named for the peerless cascade of starlight across the heavens each night, shimmering hues bright enough to light the scorching path one must take to reach a gentler destination.
