SHIPROCK!

This is the throat of an extinct volcano with molten lava walls they radiate out in three directions. Shiprock is 1583’ above the surface and is 7177’ above sea level. It rises above the plain so high it can be seen for as much as 50 mile’s away.

Went to the Bisti Badlands in New Mexico today. A beautiful other worldly place I’ve wanted to see for a year. Arrived with clear blue skies with a little wind. During the hike the wind picked up, but still sunny. I decided to head back to the car to move to a different location when an emergency alert sounded on my phone warning of an incoming dust storm! I turned around and saw the cloud coming in and hustled to my vehicle. I made it as the cloud engulfed the area. This short clip shows the road I was going to turn on to. Made it safely back and have waited it out in my room. It lasted about 5 hours! Fortunately, blue skies are returning.

Gusts up to 60 mph, limited visibility, and the air quality index of 500!

Road Trip Utah!

After 2 1/2 days of travel I finally arrived to Arches NP! The first stop on a two week tour of south Eastern Utah. I got here late in the day just in time to hike to Delicate Arch as the sun was retreating for the day. A long uphill climb for an older guy after a long winter!!! Arches has over two thousand natural arches of which Delicate is the most famous. It stands 46’ tall and 36’ wide. Impressive! Arches has gone to a timed entry reservation system and I was fortunate to get one for today. Yesterday was 80 when I arrived and VERY WINDY! The wind has calmed today with clear blue skies and a high of 78. Let’s go hiking!
