Red Rock Canyon

Our trip begins in Red Rock Canyon in the Mojave desert, then to the Alabama Hills and Tuttle Creek in Lone Pine, and then to Bishop, the White Mountains and on to Devils Postpile and Mono Lake. From Fresno, after visiting Chris' mom, we drove and drove until houses disappeared and cities became towns and their distances got farther and farther. Then there were just highways and mountains. Beautiful mountains. We entered a campground named Ricardo (a good friend calls me that!), and soon these magnificent walls of red rocks came into view. This place is gorgeous and I fell in love with it! We searched for the right spot, just below this towering rock. It was the only one that had good shade and we were very hot. This is the desert after all.
