What Survives!

The Twisted Trees are lone survivors out here. Do they ever rot, someday maybe. They are fascinating the way they get twisted up from the wind.

The Seclusion

We found some!!! Seclusion that is. So far my experience in the Canyonlands has been different than I expected. The vastness, the beauty, that's all been inline with what I thought but I was expecting to be off more in the wilderness, away from the people. Even though the park is pretty unknown in the [...]

The Hoodoos

The majority of the Needles area of the park is covered in rock formations called the Hoodoos, An overview here shows these mushroom looking structures. The needles are condensed in one dense section but the Hoodoos sprawl out to cover the rest of the Needles section of the park.

27 January 2018 | Mogan, Gran Canary, Canary Islands
Mary
As lush as Madeira was, this side of Gran Canary is not. It is dry and more desert like. Sailing here along the coast we passed sand dunes that stretched for miles (or should I say kilometers, I have to learn to convert) and upon arriving in Mogan were surrounded by canyons. They were beautiful and vast in their own right, just as the green mountainsides are. We did an all day walk up one of them trying to reach the top where we could see over the other side to the next valley. We followed the switch back road back and forth until we began to think we would never make it to the top. This apparently is a training ground for bikers. Many, many very fit, fast pedaling bikers pasted us going up and down. They made it look so easy it was amazing. We finally did get to the top of a landing we could claim to be on top as we could see a town down the other side! Six miles of uphill walking was enough for us this time. We still had to go back!
