New Years Day, a short drive...

Post by reptilist »

Here we are where the Chihuahuan desert meets the Rocky Mountains of Eastern Arizona/Western New Mexico... After a little snow action,

That is Mount Graham in the distance (10,700').

This saddle can be seen from my backyard... I have been wanting to climb up there one of these days.

Image

Looking in the general direction (SE) of Lordsburg, New Mexico.

Image

We top out at Blackjack and head towards Mule Creek, New Mexico....

Image

A pair of young bucks were jousting a little ways off the road.....

Image

This buck is just a spike horn (not very visible in the pic without magnification)...

Image

Looking off to the frosty prairie near Mule Creek...

Image

Image

Looking towards the Aldo Leopold/Gila Wilderness areas, basically the Southern end of the Rockies....

Image

The Rocky Mountains up close....

Image

Then we turned around to go back home....
