Thank you, Dwight!
I sometimes feel overwhelmed when i think how much time must have passed in order to become what we get to see today. Then i see colapsed parts of the rocky wall and that starts yet another series of ”when, how and why” questions 😉
A few years back my hubs and son learned the hard way (to not check the weather a third time before a backpacking trip) and they had a very rainy trail experience
A hail storm – yowza / that is tough anytime – but worse while camping – and on their backpacking trip – they were squeezed into a little shelter for a night with a dozen other folks who were young adults with pot. Lol
It sounds like they had a night to remember 🙂
Our experience wasn’t as bad as it sounds, the storm didn’t last long and we weren’t in the mountains. We were camping for a couple of days for the solar eclipse 18 years ago. All in all, we had a great time, but I can honestly say I don’t miss sleeping in a tent 🙂 🙂 🙂
oh wow – that is a cool way to see the eclipse – and in some ways 18 years ago feels like last year to me….
glad the time was great – and camping is not my personal fav, but it has its place in the “refreshment activity” category – for sure.
oh and when the hubs/son had the heavy rain hike – I guess the gear was extra wet too – so normally lightweight to carry was rather heavy. But they both still talk about how unique it was – and not just the pot-smoking hippies, but the pushing on I guess – I dunno – but they share some smiles and smirks when the topic comes up
I distinctly remember reading that limestones were predominant in the area, but I didn’t pay enough attention to remember what other rocks could be found 🙂 .
Very nice photo shots!
I am always fascinated by rock formations and my imagination as to how they got that way!

The air was pleasant, you’re right about that, and so was the atmosphere 🙂 plus, we were really lucky, the weather was great.

That’s really learning it the hard way 😉 I remember a hailstorm during one of our camping trips many years ago,, when we were teenagers 🙂 🙂

Love the geological photos Ana, do you happen to know what the beds of rock are?

I think it’s limestone, but I’m not 100% sure.

That makes sense Ana, they look like limestones and fine siltstones 🙂
