Canyons

I started out the day all wrong.  I couldn't get my contact in, fumbled around a lot, froze my fingers and wound up grumpy.  I ended the day with a view and a smile, content.  In between was more road walking between ranch land till the trees petered out.  We ate lunch in the shade of the very last tree and walked into this.  

We eventually got to Amijio canyon road where we turned right and walked towards this.  

We sang the Alleluijah Chorus and waved our poles to some aggressive cows who thankfully let us pass.  Then we entered the Cebolla Wilderness and it got interesting.  The trail channeled us into Amijio canyon where we came upon an old homestead.  

There are petroglyphs in this canyon and pottery shards but we didn't see any.  Then we climbed up and over into Sand canyon.  It has tall rock walls that look golden in the evening light.  We finally made camp on a hill looking out across the canyon.  Both canyons have deep arroyos.  Beautiful.
