Rattlesnake Canyon
Apparently I didn't get any establishing shots of the canyon. I'll do that tomorrow. This is looking up into the rocks we climbed. |
Heading up the wash. |
The first cool find, a pool of standing water at the base of this. |
Alison, demonstrating the angle of the rocks. |
Looking to the side as we climbed higher. |
Had to squat and scoot our way through this. |
Towards the top of the dry falls area. |
Fantastic erosion formations. |
Looking back own the canyon, or what little of it you can see |
Tadpoles and some species of hymenoptera (bee, hornet, wasp) utilizing a small pool of water. We heard a frog as well, though couldn't see him in the deep shadows. |
Looking back up as we made our way down. |
Alison shows the scale of this area. |

Squeeeeze! |
Panorama view looking down the canyon towards town. |
Rock worn smooth by the force of the water. |
So many interesting erosion forms. |
At least four different lichen on this rock. |
And back down to the wash at the base of the canyon. |
Driving back to Black Rock we spotted this great example of a lenticular cloud. |
