Most people enter the park not far from Zabriskei point, so this is often the first stop. I could tell by how many people were here and how many of them weren’t there for real hiking but dressed as tourists in any city. They probably came from Las Vegas – more power to them – see the beauty of this park.
There were plenty of crows here, hadn’t seen to many before this.
I know, more mountains, but so different!
How is that for a vanilla cake being iced with chocolate?
My geology isn’t great. But I’d say, when created, there was a white layer than a black layer, erosion exposed both. In the hills closest to us, the brown completely eroded away. The back hill still has some of it’s chocolate, and the rivulets running down the crevices are the eroded particles following the laws of gravity.
How fun is this, capturing people taking pictures against the beautiful backdrop.
A closer look at that backdrop.
This is the last of the mountains, moving on. btw, look up at the upper left corner, there is a hiker up there. he is tiny, as we all are compared to nature.
Good bye from another crow.
