Morning after an overnight rain

After breakfast 

The overlook up there    

Heading up canyon   

In and out of the water

Shoes on for now

Plentiful  

Flowing stream and formation  

Hank in the toolies!

Big bowl and lots of water   

Short break to clean out the boots 

Praying to the pot hole gods

nice water riffles

Majestic  

Natural amphitheater    

Beautiful rock    

Nice day for walking   

Towering formation  

bloom on a prickly pear  

Yellow blooms    

A nice valley

Another garden with blooms 

Tiny waterfall 

The hiker adjusts and checks bearings   

Fern garden under a moist overhang  

Pumping water before the ascent to the top   

Hank is on the way up. (little red spot in the center )   

Part way up  

The picture maker caught in the act

Hank goes up another layer  

Hank is way up there, but it still not the top of the canyon! 

Almost on top as the sun heads to the horizon 

Time to get bedded down
