Stardate 2016.419


Prickly pear cacti (Opuntia)

My Secret Place

Surreal rock colors and formations




Difficult to access creek




Towers from left to right: Mongoose and Sari (yes, they are climbed)




Above a hidden canyon




One-lane road access and watch for flash floods




24 stream crossings




Hindu (yes, it is climbed)




Peak flows carrying today's mountain snowmelt won't arrive until wee morning hours




Poppymallow (Sphaeralcea coccinea)




Prickly pear about to blossom... big-time




Professor Valley




Thanks for reading!

Adios
