Friday Fitness Hike

Bob and I hiked about 10.5 miles on Friday. Perhaps six miles of our hike was in washes. The rest was on the Pemberton.

Just before sunrise; I took this from the side of the road just after driving into the park.

We had some interesting clouds at the start of the hike.  This shot is was taken from the Pemberton, prior to entering Stoneman Wash.

We hit the Pemberton again, and then returned via another wash.

We saw several deer and several owls on our hike.  This is the only wildlife photo that I managed to get on Friday:
