Nine Days

Leaving bright and early tomorrow for nine days in the mountains. I’ve got a lot planned, so expect a lot of photos when I return ;)

I’m hoping to upload some preview photos from my iPhone along the way (when I have signal), so check back for those!

Don’t forget you can track me with my SPOT and follow along, too.

Canyon Pintado: East Four-Mile Draw

There are a number of rock art panels at this location. However, because of the heat we only made it to the first two. We are planning a trip to head back here in the fall (when it’s cooler) to finish the hikes and to check out a number of other panels in the area that we did not get to yet.
