I wish the article had more photos - from the one it looks like it could be an awesome rock climbing area

When I was a kid the magazine was all about the photos. Online NatGeo doesn't get it. They're not getting my email address either.

Oh they get it. But good photos require sometimes multiple talented photogs and a support team. These are expensive. Their cashflow was on the decline, because nobody buys magazines anymore. Magazines had a higher profit margin than online impressions, until they didn't anymore.

Nobody's paying, nobody's funding expeditions or in-depth research.

Race to the bottom! Last one there wins ... somehow.

Soldiers Delight is a preservation area, so the rangers won't be pleased if you go off the trail there, nor should they be - I expect the researchers had to clear their visit in advance. But there are plenty of formations around here similar to the one in the article photo; I feel like you'd have a harder time finding a state park without them, than with.
