This is from an area often called the toadstools. It is not far from the BLM Contact station.
The area is getting to popular for my taste but it is a quick easy hike to stretch the legs after too much time driving.
Actually the increased popularity of an area is always a mixed bag for those of us who found a place long ago. More people always reduces the sense of adventure but I found many years ago that if people don’t know about an area it is impossible to get the masses interested in protecting a place if the need arises.
I was hoping for the sunset to light up the clouds but the horizon became blocked by a small weather front moving in to the area so this and a couple of others shots ended a pleasant evening.
