The landscape is both diverse and alive: vast desert plains are home to large lichen fields and spring into life with the coastal fog, turning the otherwise white-backed dunes into a shade of green.
Over 100 species of lichen grow on the plains and on the westward facing slopes.
The windswept dunes further inland have a plethora of colors, from ivory to maroon.
The maroon coloration is contributed to the garnet sand, while some are even black in color due to magnetite and limonite particles shifting and existing with the ivory colored particles.
The area also hosts rugged canyons, deeply colored volcanic stone, and extensive mountain ranges.
