I went on a hike with the Happyville group to the Mudthedral, which is a series of arches and tunnels. We are at the trail head at China Ranch Date Farm. The first arch.
Coming out of the arch and heading into the Mudthedral.
The Mudthedral. Toni, Christie and Robin.
Coming out of the Mudthedral. Really cool place.
The Happyville group waving good by as they headed back after the Mudthedral to China Ranch. Wonderful clouds. Some of us continued up the canyon to Tecopa. The start up the Amargosa river canyon toward Tecopa. The colors and formations are really cool in here.
Five of us are in the group now
Wild rock formations and clouds along the way. Christie on the trail to the waterfall.
Claudia crossing the bridge. Claudia, Pat and Toni on the trail. The trail is on an abandoned railroad bed most of the way, we have to hike around the washouts from all the arroyos.
The waterfall on the Amargosa river. The river is pretty interesting in that most of the year it runs underground. But it is always above ground here. After storms this is a huge waterfall. A spring crossing the trail up the canyon.
Puffy cotton top cactus and puffy clouds,drippy rock formation and the flower plants are really coming up now. Could be a big bloom in the spring. Looking back down the Amargosa river canyon toward China Ranch.
Tiny plants,cracked earth with salt deposition, puffy clouds and puffy plants. Sunset tonight in Shoshone.
