On my day off I took a ½ day trip to go to the Canyon of the
Ancients/ Sand Canyon to hike. The
trail is in Colorado on the way to Cortez from Shiprock.
The directions are the type where you turn at x stoplight
and then drive for approx 15 miles and then there is the trailhead.
Well, I missed the trailhead on my initial drive. I was too busy enjoying the view on the
drive. The green of Colorado and
the blooming wild sunflowers were gorgeous. I appreciate greenery even more now that I live in the
desert. Both types of landscapes
are beautiful in their own right.
Here are some pics from the hike.
Trailhead, start of the hike - back from the road a little - that's why I missed the giant sign the first time I passed it. :)
Greenery :)
Beautiful layers within the rocks. If only I were a geologist so I could tell you more about the different layers.
The Sand Canyon
When was the last time you went for a hike? Where did you go?
