On the way to the trail head we passed these fields of yellow flowers.
These are the yellow flowers Lower Hackberry canyon has a stream running down the middle of it and lots of greenery. The canyon bottom is soft sand.
John ahead of me. The water has all these cool current lines and shadows. It is mesmerizing.
Views of lower Hackberry canyon.
We started out with water shoes on. Mine filled up with sand. Two women coming down canyon told us going barefoot was easier. The walking surface is soft sand and water. So we took our shoes off. John relaxing on a rock waiting for me. The patterns in the water were mesmerizing. Senecio flowers.
John in Lower Hackberry canyon. One of many small waterfalls.
Red rock walls , blue sky and green cottonwood trees. This lizard posed for me, salt deposits on the rocks.
The rocks were unbelievably brilliant red with green trees and blue sky. John walking between some boulders in the canyon.
Colors and patterns.
The black lines are desert varnish. They form where water runs over the rocks year after year after year. This group of horse back riders entered the canyon just as we were climbing out.
Fossils and yellow sunflowers. A field of sunflowers. The wind was blowing, so these were waving in the wind.
More sunflowers. A cool rock formation on the road back.
Sunset tonight.
