These pictures are of the Salt River Canyon... I had no idea it was so PRETTY!!
two views of the Salt River....
some beautiful cliffs along the way...
just beautiful country.... I will figure out the settings on my camera, but these pictures are totally unedited... I'm sure if they were edited, they'd look better, but I'm pooped.
a close up of the river...
more cliff detail...
the pictures don't do it justice....
and into NM I saw this pair of Elk... I quickly found a way to pull over and grabbed a few shots of them...
and some cool flowering plant I saw while photographing the Elk.
the beautiful colorful NM mountains...
a Natural Arch.... awesome :)
the mountains to the north of the arch
the arch again
The Element and the arch... proof we were there ;-)
and it dawned on me, I didn't take a "packed car" shot... here we are from the back....
and from the drivers side.
I will probably load a little differently in the morning....
speaking of... it's late and the dogs are dreaming. I'm jealous.
For those who travel - the Motel 6 in Bernalillo, NM gets a thumbs up!! :)
