Me: …Bob's fall yesterday was a beautifuly landed jump. And April's acting was award winning. ;-)
We had such a fun group hiking Chiricahua on Sunday!
Bob, Kata, Robyn, Carol, Mike, Abbie, April & me.
We started at 8:30am on the Rhyolite Trail to the Sarah Deming Trail to the Heart of Rocks Trail. (7.5 miles round trip).
Carol admiring the Hoodoos (standing up rocks that look like people).
First glimpse of Balanced Rock.
How much more erosion before that giant boulder falls?! :-/
This was a great place to take photos & play with my new fish eye lens.
Abbie & Mike & Balanced Rock.
What a beautiful day we had to explore this area which was discovered in the early 1900's by a Swedish couple. It was made a National Park in 1924 and today there are many wonderful trails to enjoy. Chiricahua has 12,000 acres of protected land.
The rock here is called Rhyolite. Years & years of wind & water has eroded the Rhyolite into amazing rock formations...
like this duck.
Camel's Head.
Thor's Hammer.
Kissing Rocks and more.
Before we left the Heart of Rocks trail, Kata fed the duck an apple. ;-)
He was hungry.
Our group got back to the visitor center and drove to Massai Point to have lunch and do an afternoon hike in the park. I will post those pics tomorrow. That's a LOT of Chiricahua pics…but it was a reeeaaaally cool place!
WOW....love the pics....what a wonderful place...the balance rocks are something else...can't wait to see the pics you post tomorrow! Bob's jump made me nervous...you should have taken a pic of his safe landing.
