A Swell birthday. Act 2: Black Dragon Canyon.

After a relaxing morning around camp, we headed out to Black Dragon Canyon. An always enjoyable drive. We even spotted the wild burrows along the way as we passed the Jackass Benches. A fun end to the trip.

Working our way along the Jackass Benches towards Black Dragon Canyon. A fun feeling when you can make fresh tracks in the desert.

Actually the first time i’ve stopped and enjoyed the canyon, rather than hightailing it to Rays Tavern once off the trail. Enjoyable.

Tapestry.
