So… How about a few of the rocks I’ve had the pleasure to have gazed upon…
Tehipiti Dome, Kings Canyon National Park, Central Sierra Nevada Mountains…
This granite monolithic dome rises 3,000 feet above Tehipite Valley... An 18 mile hike to get to great Rainbow fishing in the King's River there.
Devil’s Postpile National Monument, Central Sierra Nevada Mountains…
Layer upon layer of lava flows made this unique basalt formation in eastern Madera County.
Half Dome, Yosemite National Park, Central Sierra Nevada Mountains…
Probably the most famous of the Central Sierra domes. In the old days the Park Service put on a real show on summer nights with the Fire Fall from Yosimite's Glacier Point...
The practice was meant to compliment the many water falls around Yosimite Valley and as you can see it was quite an attraction. The park became too popular and the Fire Fall was discontinued to discourage the huge crowds...
I've been to the top of Moro Rock many times to look across the Kaweah River Valley below while up above I could gaze upon the High Sierras that reach 14,000 feet above sea level.
The Glorious West
Morro Rock, Morro Bay, California, Central Coast
A huge rock planted in the beach that forms the bay of the same name... Many a time in the grey of the morning did I ride with Virg in one of his party boats headed out past Morro Rock for some deep sea fishing.
The Northern California Coast...
If you're ever able to drive Highway 1 and 101 along the Pacific Coast scenes like this are commonplace... You can basically follow the coast from Washington all the way to San Diego. A nice leisurely four day drive oughta do it!
Hole in the Mountain Peak, Ruby Mountains Nevada
Just below the summit it looks like someone took a huge drill bit and bored a hole through the granite.
The Ruby Mountains, a beautiful range of mountains east of Elko, Nevada...
Sedona Arizona’s Red Rock Mountains
The Red Rock Country is truly a spiritual experience... It's little wonder why many of our nation's most highly respected artists have spent time in this part of the country.
Monument Valley, Arizona
Can't you just see John Wayne leading the cavalry across that scene?
Petrified Forest, Arizona
Hard Rock Candy Mountains?
Coyote Butte, Arizona
If you listen you can here the pack howling...
Arches National Park, Utah
Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah
Reminds me of a Gothic Cathedral... They need to move the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's huge pipe organ in here and give a concert...
What can I say?
These scenes of such beauty are from only a small corner of our Earth... A corner I've been lucky enough to enjoy. Someday I hope to see them all again.
Did you rock out???
