More from the "Lost" Files!

 My last post was about a favorite hike I had completed way back in December of 2019, but had forgotten about the files and never shared them. Here are a few more from that memorable hike. The terrain is rocky and remote, but the photo opportunities are numerous. Thanks for joining me, and let's go see what we can find!

Fortune Cookie arch. A friend of mine told me about this one!
 

View from inside one of the many, many shallow caves in the area. I like the way the sun was visible through the side "window"!
 
View from under one of the many arches I came across on this hike.

Navigating through this rocky terrain can be both challenging and rewarding. You never know what you might find, and there are arches and shallow caves waiting to be discovered!
 


Well after sunset, navigating by GPS and headlamp.

Thanks for stopping by!!

  8. Dearest Peter,
    Wow, more views from great pictures taken in December 2019. Love your mention of the sun coming in through side 'window'!
    Love the last two images with the moon visible.
    You captured such excellent photos from a unique landscape.
    Hard to imagine such surroundings, compared to where we are...
    Thanks for sharing them; they're like good wine; only BETTER with age!
    Hugs,

  15. That really is a rugged area. I'd have to be careful not to twist an ankle. But, that scenery might be worth it. Beautiful.

  28. Es un lugar que da mucho juego para hacer fotografías, por lo espectacular y belleza del sitio.
    Pero, no todas las personas sabemos hacer un reportaje con la calidad que tiene el tuyo, con imágenes de una ejecución insuperable.
    Un cordial saludo.

  31. So lovely -- I just kind of want to move into that one shallow cave with the sky view out of the big window and the gorgeous sun out of the side one. (For the purposes of this comment we will ignore all the other things I think I need besides a wonderful view.!)
