May 16

Last morning after another night of drizzle

The wake up blend

The kitchen

Breaking camp under cloudy skies, more rain coming? Is this really the desert?

Getting to the top

Red desert

A short break for some pictures

Heading around that point to the trail up

Tim poses

Desert life and clouds threaten

Rich life

Plentiful Pinon pine nuts

Blooming

There is a hiker dead center in this picture. A little red spot

What a vista!

We started from down in the scrub

Don’t stumble here!

We have to work our way up to the top

A look down in to the canyons

A rain shower over the river out there

We are almost to the top of the stairs

Across the sandstone bridge

Big canyon and big sky!

In the vehicle and on our way back to civilization. Another one for the books!
