Up and out early to beat the heat May 27, 2013


We were up early and out the door for our hike before the heat of the day hit.  We started out on the back side of the rock.  Jim says I am supposed to be calling “the rock” a monolith …. So, we started our hike on the back side of the monolith. We had run into a couple yesterday that told us the hiking trail to the left was much prettier than the trail to the right. So, as advised we kept to the left. While the scenery along the trail is interesting we decided neither of us would call it pretty. The rock formations are out of the ordinary and some even fascinating.




 

 The cactus may have been pretty earlier in the year, but unfortunately most of them have already lost their flowers and those with flowers remaining are looking pretty close to dead.  I am amazed at the lack of bugs here.  We have seen very few flies, I heard one bee, and we have seen a handful of crickets. I have to wonder what all these lizards are doing for food.
