We drove out the same way, but turned north to the park entrance. This climate area seems to be dryer that ABQ area, less pines or mesquite all around, but I am not certain. I will have to be more aware next time I get that way.<br /><br />Kathie, I was a little surprised that I did not see any birds at all in this area.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641155784689215782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2254583524745448970.post-83530909526537917992012-04-17T22:29:56.322-06:002012-04-17T22:29:56.322-06:00Kathryn, what great pictures and what a fun time! ...Kathryn, what great pictures and what a fun time!

Mountain biked from Blue Diamond, then up to the south end of Red Rock, and back. Definitely no crowds that way, though less red rock-type scenery.<br /><br />Lots of surprises in some of those canyons, like the ponderosa pines not far from Mojave plants.<br /><br />#2-5 photos are such a nice series! Though you just can't go wrong at Red Rock.
