This ole timer tried to get me to stay there, but I already have a room in Monticello |
Church Rock |
Normally this road wouldn't appeal to me, but I know it is leading to a part of Canyonlands that I haven't seen before. |
This is part of Newspaper Rock |
Every month, the Indian Reporters would update the paper. |
Tribal members could come read the news........... |
.............if they would pay the two ears of corn subscription fee. |
Read this for the rest of the story! :) |
This part of the park is know for NewsPaper Rock as well as the Needles. However the next few pics are just nice formations along the way. |
Even a place for the necklace to hang |
This place has a name but I can't remember what it was. |
This mom was trying to get some nice flower shots with her daughter |
The daughter was doing her best to make it work. |
OK, just a normal one in case the creative ones don't turn out. |
This place is completely off the grid. Uses solar and backup generator. |
The sign says it all. |
Wooden Shoe Arch |
Getting Creative |
These potholes collect water during the rainy season |
Like little drinking ponds for the wild life |
First shot of the Needles in the background. |
I think the rangers have too much time on their hands. |
I think the Indians used these rocks to form their saddles on. |
A lot of people were taking pictures of the cactus flowers. I caved in and took one too, but so common place at home. |
I had wandered away from the trail and wasn't sure where the parking lot was, then I saw a slight reflection through the brush. |
I was hot and tired when I got back. I thought he was just checking to see if I was gonna make it.....he was just lookin for a hand out. |
These are called Mushroom Rocks |
They don't taste bad, |
but they hurt your teeth. |
Should probably just use them as a side garnish. |
I named this one Battle Ship Rock |
Open Range |
I was so curious about this that I rode out this dirt road to check it out. |
No signage, but I decided it was a wind driven well pump and cistern. |
Lunch/Dinner |
