| Bushwhacking in the high country |
Because of the sloppy muddy conditions in High Rolls Dr. K and I decided it would be best to head down to the lower desert to do our morning hike on the way home. Right before we left, the Sacramento Mountains blessed us with a brief snow shower similar to the one we had yesterday. The snow was just a powdered-sugar dusting, however, which was almost all gone by the time we left. From Highway 70 we took Baylor Canyon Road along the western escarpment of the Organ Mountains, and, naturally, I had to stop for a few photographs. We commenced our hike from the Monte Vista side of Tortugas Mountain, and weather conditions would have been really pleasant--sunny, blue sky with clouds--if the wind wasn't blowing so darned hard. Nevertheless, we got in a nice trek before heading to our house.

Beautiful photos, Packrat, especially the one of the sun coming up in the Sacramento Mountains.
