Sleep Deprived

Starting off in shadow

We're still feeling the effects of setting our clocks ahead by one hour.  It will take a few more days until things seem right.  Because of the time change Becca and I were on the mountain before the sun had fully bathed the western side.  Because of that--and the 30 F. temperature--it felt rather chilly when we began our trek.  The feeling didn't last long, though, as we got into the sun after about a mile of hiking.  We had just begun to feel a bit "heated up" when we got back to the car at the trailhead.

Sunlight begins to creep over the mountain

Who painted the Prickly Pear Cactus purple?

Mournful look

On the road again
