Baxter Pass & Canyon Pintado

[IntrepidXJ]

Since we were busy yesterday morning and too lazy to head out the rest of the day, we decided to head over Baxter Pass today for a few hours. Here's a few photos from our morning.

After making it back to Highway 139, we spent some time exploring the rock art in Canyon Pintado, but I will have to post those photos later when I have a chance to go through them. Stay tuned!

Here's a few photos from Canyon Pintado that I promised. We only stopped at a few of the site because it was getting pretty hot out, but Amanda and I are planning on another trip in the fall when it cools down.
