When Granny Vacationed on Planet Klendathu
The gang at We’re Here! is on tour!! Join the fun and see our snaps at Typical Tourist Pictures.
This is a tourist snapshot I took in the middle of Wyoming this summer at a geologic oddity along the highway called “Hell’s Half Acre”. Its claim to fame is that it served as the backdrop in the movie Starship Troopers for the fictional planet of Klendathu.

Hell's Half Acre is a large scarp located about 40 miles (64 km) west of Casper, Wyoming on US 20/26. Encompassing 320 acres (1.3 km2), this geologic oddity is composed of deep ravines, caves, rock formations and hard-packed eroded earth. The location was known as "The Devil's Kitchen", "The Pits of Hades", and "The Baby Grand Canyon" until a cowhand appeared and thought he was at Hell's Half Acre, an area southwest of Casper full of alkali and bogs. Native American tribes used the ravines to drive bison to their death during their hunts.
Happy Sliders Sunday!
