Red Rock Canyon

Congratulations are in order ... we got out before 9:00 this morning.  Our mission was to find those elusive bighorn sheep.   We drove about half way on the 13-mile scenic drive and parked at Willow Springs Picnic Area.  We took the challenging 6.7 mile trail on White Rock/La Madre Spring Loop and it was beautiful.  It took us to the north side of White Rock which is one of the best areas for viewing bighorn sheep.  Unfortunately, no sightings.  However, Amanda and I picked a lot of Juniper berries and some wild sage.

This is how Amanda spent her last night with us - purpose driven!

The colors of the spring flowers continue to surprise me

Just beautiful

Can you find Denis?

That's a snail

The photo doesn't bring out the colors in this rock

This is where we found the snails

This looks like fun

Our feet and legs got tired after going about six miles

Isn't it spectacular?

These guys were hiding from us

Thanks for stopping in.
