I took yesterday off work to hit a new spot! It was hot, dry, rugged, and awesome.

That looks sweet. Is it some kind of high plateau?

Just the opposite: this is a big, shallow gulley between wheat fields. I assume the ground is too rocky and uneven to bother cultivating. There's a small, dried-up riverbed at the bottom, and the trails run along the rolling hills on either side. Some spots are bare volcanic rock, others are sagebrush and sparse grass like the picture. And in a few places, where the soil allows, there is thick, chest-high grass that almost completely hides the trail.

Ah. It kinda looked to me like the terrain would fall off after the horizon.

You're not wrong. There are cliffs exactly like that not far from this spot.
