Driving the 20 miles off of Interstate 40, we quickly became surrounded by the desert. Not sand and dunes, but cactus, grasses, rocks, all in a very arid climate. Camping in a campground that could have accommodated 100 campers, we were with a few others along with the camp host. We dry camped, as there is no water, electric, or the other amenities. Quiet, peaceful, and quite beautiful.
First day we hiked the one mile Rings Loop Trail. Called this, since as you climb into the canyon, you come to a set of rings that help hikers get to the top of the canyon slot. Pretty cool!
The next day, we biked past great scenery, grazing cows, and old ranches. All uphill....but then, what goes up comes down....Although we had to be careful because we were biking on an unpaved road.
