Create a short description of a foreboding scene outside a sand dune with tents and a path.

Like the claw of a slumbering desert behemoth, a broad sandstone shelf which hedges in the settlement juts upwards out of the ground to the side of the sandy path. Gathered closely to others of its kind, the natural obstacles leave little room on the trail for passing travelers, and even less for the tents the locals use to gain shelter from the winds.
