Last weekend Darin and I decided to start the hiking season early and hit Devil’s Chair, which is a bit of a hike from the more commonly visited Devil’s Punchbowl. These fascinating rock formations are so named for the one’s striking resemblance to a sinister throne of rock on a sort of natural altar in the middle of a canyon which happens to be somewhat bowl shaped. I have to admit the rocks do look like floating ice cubes in the right angle and lighting. We hadn’t planned for the temperature at 5500 feet however, and after about 3 hours we decided it was a bit too cold to continue in our present attire. Managed to get a few good shots along the way however:
Footsteps in the Sand. Perhaps some sort of bird?
Pretty Blue Bird. Can anyone tell me the type of bird? Man I’ve got to get a field guide or something.
Red Plant. Don’t know the name of this one. Anyone?
Acorns Underfoot.
Melting Ice Cave.
Mountain Soaring.
Remnants of Ice.
