Dolores Canyon

21 Sep 2016 9 15 863
Colorado, south of Paradox Valley. Looking upstream (south). The petroglyphs we were trying to reach are supposed to be below those cliffs in the distance, but we were out of time--and the old Jeep trail did not prove to be practical for bicycles! In fact, it's pretty much washed out thru here, even tho Google still shows it as a "road." The partly bare shrubs along the river, to the left, are tamarisk ( Tamarix spp.), which are showing the effects of the tamarisk beetle, imported to control them!
