It was lovely - it was only about 52 degrees F - and the wind was gusting to 50 mph - so it was nice to be down in the shelter of the canyon.
The trail winds down from the visitor center through a thicket of Juniper...
More erosion and a small cave...
It smelled like Christmas and Thanksgiving as the wind blew over the Juniper and Sage...
It's funny how the rock formations look like things - this one looks like a bird perched on top of the ridge - we saw one that looked just like a bulldog too - it's like cloudwatching - only stone...
Nothing new - and we didn't even see any wildlife here - it was overcast too - so the colors are not so brillant - but we had a nice hike - and came back to the Visitors Center and watched one of their videos and bought a few Christmas presents.
Then we headed to the Trapper's Den for lunch - they actually have a pretty awesome salad bar - I'm kinda tired of eating salad bar this trip 'though - oh well.
Couldn't get pictures.Glad you are having a good time and that the weather is nice. E

ReplyDeleteHey Mom - there's something weird going on with my posts here - I've lost a couple and the comments are on the wrong post and you can't see pictures - we were in the tub with bathing suits - a family thing...
