North Dakota - Life in the Vast Lane

We went hiking in the Painted Canyon - I love that name...
First we read all of the informational signs...





Then we started down the trail...
It was a lovely day...
The Man-Cub especially like the toadstool formations...
You can really see the effects of the erosion - one day it will all be just rolling hills...
There were lots of sheer drop-offs like this one - sometimes I would hold the Man-Cubs hand - it made me a little nervous...
Hiking up to another cliff...
We're at the bottom here - now we have to hike back up to the top of the rim...
A couple of views from the top...
