Overview

A scenic hillside along Artists Drive known for its striking multicolored volcanic and sedimentary rock, caused by mineral oxidation. In the 1977 film Star Wars: A New Hope, this colorful canyon was used to film the establishing shot of the Jawas' massive Sandcrawler vehicle moving across the Tatooine landscape.
